Fiber Media
Optical fibers use light to send information
through the optical medium.

It uses the principal of total internal reflection.

Modulated light transmissions are used to
transmit the signal.

WHAT
IS

DEFINITION

MICRO
WAVE

A communication system that utilizes the radio frequency

band spanning 2 to 60 GHz. As per IEEE, electromagnetic
waves between 30 and 300 GHz are called millimeter waves
(MMW) instead of microwaves as their wavelengths are
about 1 to 10mm.

COMM
UNICA
TION

MICROWAVE SYSTEMS

Microwave communication is line of

sight radio communication.
Microwave communication can be
analog or digital.

Propagation Types
1.Ground wave propagation
2.Line of sight propagation
3.Sky wave propagation

WIRE
LESS
MEDIA

Very useful in difficult terrain where cable

laying is not possible.
Provides mobility to communication nodes.
Right of way and cable laying costs can be
reduced.
Susceptible to rain, atmospheric variations
and Objects in transmission path.

RADIO SYSTEM
Dispatch radio systems for railways.
Base station infrastructure and corresponding mobiles and
portable radios can be provided in all frequencies currently used
by the industry.
Each controller in the Traffic Control Room has a radio
dispatch console for voice communication with the train drivers.
Incoming calls are given priorities by the drivers and appear on
the screen according to these priorities. Please ask for detailed
information about radio systems for railways.

IVRS SYSTEM
A state-of-the-art interactive voice
response system (IVRS) can
recognise a customers voice and
answer queries as well as any
person. It can enhance our
organisations efficiency and make
our customers happier, unlike
conventional interactive systems.

NETWORK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Network Management System (NMS) is a supervision and system dedicated to

operation and maintenance of transmission networks and surrounding
equipment.In the event of failure in a geographically distributed transmission
network, the NMSdetects the alarm signals from all communication subsystems along
the railwayline. Fault identifications are then transmitted to one or more Network
Control Centres (NCC) where maintenance staff can take due action.

PASSENGER RESERVATION SYSTEM

Information displays for . Different cabinets and different character
design optimize displays for in-doors well as out-door use.
Displays may be 25" colour monitors, LCD displays with high
intrinsic reliability, LED dot matrix or electromagnetic flap types.
Control an distribution of information to the various platforms are
computerized and can be integrated with train-graph and train control
systems.

PRS SYSTEM
A countrywide online passenger reservation and ticketing system
Developed and maintained by CRIS( CENTER FOR RAILWAY INFORMATION
SYSTEMS) .
Reservation is done via remote location excess.
All computers are interconnected are Main frame .

UNRESERVED TICKETING SYSTEM-UTS

The work load involved in
printing , accounting and
issuing tickets to this mega
segment has been a difficult
task

Tickets can be issued

upto 3 days in advance

Indian railways introduced

UTS to improve customer
satisfaction,
revenue
generation, accounting, and
reporting capabilities and
reduce fraud
System is proposed to be
extended progressively on all
zonal railways

Indian railways have received the

prestigious computer world honour
2004 for UTS that has improved
customers travelling experience and
provided operational efficiency

PUBLIC ADDRESS SYSTEM

FOR LOUDSPEAKER
Announcements of train arrivals and departures,delays,
etc. will often be integrated in the passenger information
system where preprogrammed messages are stored on
data voice recorders on stations along the railway line.
Unmanned stations will have interface between the
interlocking system and the Public Address System for
automatic platform announcements.

SIGNALPOST TELEPHONES (SPT)

SPTS are still use in many railway infrastructure companies. Being
part of the safety system.SPT's offer a well proven and reliable system
concept with a unique identification of the calling party.The SPT
system can be operated in both local and central mode.

CONCLUSION
Excellence is an art won by training
and habituation. We do not act rightly
because we have virtue or excellence,
but we rather have those because we
have acted rightly. We are what we
repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not
an act but a habit.

After being trained at the office of

DIVISIONAL RAILWAY MANAGER
I came to know that how Indian Railway employs the
field of Electronics and communication Engineering for
meeting its daily requirement in the segment of
communication
