Unique Features of SIMRAN Technology

• Indian Railway GIS Map.• Unified Information Database for whole IR (it can

be compared with UID Project of GOI)– Locomotives/EMU/DMU/MEMU– Rake, Coaches, Wagon etc– Station, Loco Shed, Car Shed and other locations– GIS– Routes, Sections & Various Control Section

• Fault diagnostic Data Logging• Traffic analysis


Potential Extensions of SIMRAN Technology

1. IR-GIS: GIS Mapping of IR {LC/RUB/ROB/Bridges/Tunnels etc.}2. Works {Online Pink Book}3. Central Communication Provider for Train/Loco Health data 4. IR-RIS {IR Asset & Operation Management System}5. Centralized Rake Display (Platform Coach Display System)6. Centralized Station Announcement Cum Display System7. Centralized IVRS cum SMS Service8. Wireless Coach Display & Location based advertisement &

announcement9. Wagon/Coach/Freight Tracking & Management {Logistics}

10. Train Safety System (SafeRun)11. Wireless Braking System12. Driver Assisting System {D-Kunji}

Transmission Platform• GSM Communication Platform which provides 2-Way

Communication is essentially required for 2-Way Communication for services like Control Office to Train Emergency PA System, Wireless Coach Display System etc.

• Standalone Coach Display System with will have following deficiencies.

– Huge All India Level Manpower requirement for programming Train No. in each and every coach -every time train starts it journey.

– Huge All India Level Manpower requirement for loading Route Map when a coach is diverted from One Train to Other Train for which it does not have Route Map.

– Even loading of All India Route (in all coaches as one time exercise) will not be workable. Change in WTT (owing to Doubling, Gauge Conversion, New Lines, Electrification, Signaling System Up-gradation etc) is an continuous exercise. Even a change in WTT of One Section in a Division will require Route Map uploading in All Coaches of Indian Railway which are likely to pass through that Section.

– Huge All India Manpower requirement to upload New Time Table at 0.00 Hours on 01.07 of every year to upload in All Coaches of Indian Railway.

– It will not be cost effective to have GPS Receiver in each and every Coach.– It will not be possible to send emergency messages directly from Control Office to Display

Boards.– It will not be possible to integrate Display Board with PA System for Co-ordinated

Messages.


Transmission Platform• Onboard Diagnostic System, Derailment Detection System, Crew

Management System (Smart Card Reader) will require additional bandwidth which can be provided by GSM/GPRS only etc.

• Satellite Communication which operates in S Band, will have problem during Rainy Weather.

• Satellite Communication will have problem in Covered Station, Tunnels etc.

• Presently MSS Platform of INSAT Satellite with 1 MHz can accommodate only Approximately 1500 Locomotive with One-Way Reporting of location every minute.

• Though Dual GSM SIM will reduce shadow zones yet it is proposed that in long run IR should have its own Satellite Transponder.

• SIMRAN which have required interface for MSS Terminal, will use this available bandwidth wisely in minor GSM Shadow Zones.

• SIMRAN Station Server integrated with Railway OFC Network will also provide backup to GSM/Satellite Service in Shadow Zones.
