In-Depth Analysis of Instabilties in the DMRC Coach Management System

Abstract

The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) deployed the Real Time Coach Management System (RTCMS), a state-of-the-art tool, to improve the effectiveness of its operations. To assist the DMRC manage its fleet more efficiently, the technology seeks to offer real-time information regarding the movement and location of coaches. A network of sensors and communication tools installed in the coaches and along the tracks support the RTCMS, a sophisticated system. A central control unit processes the data that these sensors continually relay regarding the coaches' speed, position, and other characteristics. The system also has a user interface that shows the data to passengers and DMRC employees. The RTCMS offers the DMRC a number of advantages. Real-time monitoring by the DMRC of the coaches makes it easier to spot and swiftly address any problems. The solution also helps the DMRC to maximise the use of its coaches, lowering operating expenses and boosting network capacity. The RTCMS also improves the passenger experience by giving precise and current information on the train arrival and departure schedules. This paper discusses about the advantages, problems, instabilities of RTCMS and how we can overcome?
