Safety is the most critical aspect for Indian Railways as it is the common mode of public transport and common logistics to major industries. Hence safety of the railways is directly related to the passenger and goods safety. The increased human error is because the work is tedious. Most of the testing’s and operations are done manually. It is multiplied by the train frequencies which makes it a tedious process. Constant pressure on the staff leads to fatigue hence resulting in improper actions leading to severe accidents. Current signaling system is not embedded with real time monitoring system to know the whereabouts of the trains and make decisions accordingly. Real-time information relating to track occupancy status as well as the composition status will enable the siding managers to make right decisions. The aim is to make Indian Railways completely safe and efficient through breakthrough technologies to increase the safety features of the railways. Along with the safety the aim is to provide better asset management system so that efficiency can be increased.
