N.F. Railway Will Update Systems To Ensure That Trains Run Safely And Quickly

GUWAHATI: Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) is updating its signals system because communication technology is always evolving, better collaboration between signal and telecom teams is essential, it said.

Monitoring of signal gears will be done remotely in the future, according to a news release released by NF Railway.

Given the increasing number of trains, timely and accurate monitoring of all such gears has become critical.

These signalling systems are critical for the safe and rapid movement of trains and telecommunication services.

To improve train operations, NF Railway has installed Internet Protocol Multiprotocol Label Switching (IPMPLS) with Network Management System (NMS) at 156 stations in Assam's Katihar, Alipurduar, Rangiya, and Lumding divisions.

Aside from that, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) and UTS/PRS railnet circuits are being moved from Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) to IPMPLS.

IPMPLS provides a significant benefit in any-to-any connectivity environments, which is currently a critical necessity for Indian Railways' communication needs modernization.

System Monitoring and Predictive Maintenance Centre (SMPMC) and Network Control and Data Analytic Centre (NCDAC) have been established for Artificial Intelligence-based predictive asset maintenance, real-time data collecting, and resource allocation from centralised locations.

This will increase manpower deployment to important assets on priority and reduce overall maintenance costs.

Furthermore, Wi-Fi dashboards have been supplied for real-time monitoring of Wi-Fi at all 382 Wi-Fi-equipped stations.

CCTV dashboards have also been supplied for real-time monitoring of CCTV at 11 stations.

At 26 stations, a Train Control Communication System based on Voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP) has been put into operation.

With the use of the VOIP technology, voice calls may now be placed through a high-speed internet connection rather than a traditional landline.

According to the announcement, the intentional, persistent, and caring efforts of the NF Railway crew have enabled these accomplishments.

With such updating of its system, the NFR wants to ensure speedy and safe movement of trains in the region so that passenger and cargo movement can be optimized.
