THINKING ABOUT FUTURE

Because track information comes

in asynchronously, and we need to

be able to reorder it regularly

Why do we need TMS?




Assume the shapes below represent

data/information. Arrange the shapes in such a way that we produce a single shape that can be easily

explained to someone over the phone.




W ell probably do something like this:

³A rectangle where one side is 3 times the length of the

other´




Now add the following shape:




W ell probably do something like this:

³A rectangle where one side is 4 times the length of

the other´




Now add these two shapes

(simulating a further inflow of information):




Y oull probably attempt something like this:

³Now add two smaller bits, and «

Oh, it doesn¶t quite fit,but don¶t worry too much, because it nearly fits «´




W hat we really need to do is take all the data /

information and rearrange it from scratch NOT just add it to our existing shapes.




W e could end up with something like this:



PRESENT METHODS OF RECORD KEEPING

Registers with each SE/P.Way 28 to

30 Nos.

Reports/ Records USFD, L-xing/

Accident etc.

Charts Track Diagram, Inspectionetc.



Present System (Continued)

Manual correlation and assimilation of information

- extremely time consuming and difficult.

Quite often, required correct/complete

information is not available at appropriate level.

Results of mechanized track monitoring system like

TRCs are not being efficiently utilized because of

lack of linkages with asset details and other track

parameters.



Result Incomplete/incorrect data may lead to incorrect

analysis.

Duplication of data entry effort at different level

of hierarchy.

The various outputs get delayed and inaccuracymay creep into the system. This jeopardizes the

entire process of analysis and planning.



Track Management System (TMS)

To overcome these shortcomings, Indian

Railways developed Track Management

System.

TMS will also increase efficiency and

accuracy in track management process.



TMS

Pilot project of implementation of TMS in six divisions

sanctioned at a cost of Rs 9.72 Cr. Work started in May 2009.

±Agra(NCR),

± Secundrabad (SCR),

± Salem (SR),

± Banglore(SWR),

± Bilaspur (SECR) and ± Waltair (ECoR)

Work of implementation of TMS in balance divisions has

been sanctioned in 2010-11. Expected to be covered by

Dec. 2012.

Features of TMS

Automated system: Minimum paper work is involved. Delayin receiving information from the field/zones is eliminated,thus output reports are generated on time.

Centralized System: A centralized infrastructure is planned in

order to keep the deployment and maintenance cost incontrol.

Data Capture at Source: The collected information about thetracks to be captured at source itself. Netbooks with internetdatacards/broadband connections provided to field officials.

Security: There is separate access categories for differentusers, user groups, modules, and functions and datastructures based on their jurisdiction and responsibility. Allusers are identified by the system.



Benefits Prioritization of Works

Need Based Deployment of Gang and Machine

Comparison of Track Quality Based on Track And OMS Results

Defect do not get lost till attended.

Quality of inspection

Overdue Inspection can be monitored.

Up-dated Track Diagram available at all time.

Features needing attention can be listed.

Optimisation of maintenance inputs

Inventory management warning of stores falling below critical

limit.



IMPACT Contd. . . .

ALL LEVELS

Online decision making tool for Managers

Track Renewals.

Track Maintenance

Enhancing safety.

Time saving Information collection by all levels.

Time available- Improve planning at all levels.

Online monitoring of working of field officials



Railways role CRIS is developing software and procuring

central hardware and laptops to be

provided to field supervisors and ADENs Railways have to ensure track data

collection, feeding into TMS

Railways have to provided internetconnectivity to field engineers. Provision

made in the estimate of this work



Pitfalls to be avoided

Wrong data feeding

Non-recording of work done
