Germany-based Bombardier Transportation on Friday bagged a contract from Indian Railways to supply traffic management system (TMS) for Mumbai. The technology will provide train operators and passengers in Central Railway with detailed journey information.
The contract, with a value of around 4 million euros (US $ 6 million), is for the design, supply, installation, testing and commissioning of a TMS for the Central Railway in Mumbai, which covers 53 km, 32 stations and offers in excess of 1,400 services daily.
It promises to significantly improve safety in the Mumbai CST-Kalyan suburban section of the Central Railway as traffic controllers will be able to monitor one of the most crowded train traffic in the world. The system would manage train arrivals at each station every three minutes, and also promises to provide the information for rapid decision-making in case of disruption.
Around three million passengers using the Central Railway line daily would be able to receive a continuous update, minute-by-minute countdown showing the exact train time arrival. Also, there will be automatic multi-lingual passenger announcements on the train, bilingual displays at station entrance, and information relating to the next two incoming trains at each platform.
The first TMS installation in India was in 2004 at the Western Railway section in Mumbai.
