6. Interactive Voice response System
7. Passenger Information System
8. Medium of Communication(OFC)
We are going to discuss following
departments in brief :
7. Intra-net -:
Intra-net is an internet network of Indian
railway allowing the railway officers and staff to
communicate on this digitized network.
Inter-net -:
Internet allows user to get into a
global communication method and global pool of
knowledge, advertisement and entertainment through www
(World Wide Web) is a secured manner.
RAILNET COMPRISES
8. ◊ Indian railways has own Corporate Wide
Information System (CWIS), which called
‘RAILNET’. This Rail net provides computer
connectivity between railway board with zonal
railways.
◊ For improvement in this network in terms of
bandwidth, quality of channel, Indian railways
setup a separate organization i.e. “Indian Railways
Central Organization of Telecommunication
(IRCOT).
¤ DESCRIPTION ¤
9. PASSENGER RESERVATION SYSTEM
(PRS)
⚫PRS networking of entire Indian Railways
completed in April, 1999.
⚫PRS is running currently at 1,200 locations,
Deploying 4,000 terminals , covering journeys of
3,000 trains and executing ONE MILLION
passenger transactions per day.
⚫Internet booking of tickets was started In August
2002.
⚫TATKAL has been converted from a separate coach
to a normal Quota and enabled for all trains in
2004 .
⚫
10. ⚫CONCERT - COUNTRY-WIDE NETWORK FOR
COMPUTERIZED ENHANCED RESERVATION AND
TICKETING - developed by CRIS, Chanakya Puri, New
Delhi, is a total networking solution to Indian
Railways Passenger Reservation System. Indian
Railways computerized Passenger Reservation System
(PRS) currently operates from five regional centers
located at Delhi, Mumbai, Calcutta, Chennai and
Secunderabad. CRIS was assigned the task of
development and implementation of the new software
incorporating networking for Indian Railways thereby
interconnecting the five PRS centers.
CONCERT
11. • The software has been successfully implemented at all
of the five PRS' site viz. Secunderabad in Sept. 1994,
and New Delhi in Sept. 1996,Calcutta 14th June 1998
and at Mumbai on 11th Jan 1999, and at Chennai on
12th April 1999 thus the complete network become
operational on 18th April 1999, and has been working
satisfactorily since then. All of the five sites have been
internet-worked over a 64 kbps line using routers, on
leased communication line connections from
Department of Telecom (DOT).

13. ✔ Indian Railway’s web-site, www.indianrail.gov.in offers
PRS enquiries on the internet Berth/Seat availability,
Passenger Status, Fare, Train Schedule etc.
✔ A maximum of 42 lakhs hits per day have been
recorded.
✔ National Train Enquiry System (NTES) website,
www.trainenquiry.com gives dynamic information about
the running status of any train and its expected
arrival/departure at any given station.
PRS Enquiry system
14. ⚫Mobile telephone based SMS enquiry
system.
⚫A new mobile phone based facility for rail
users viz Train delay alert service.
⚫Country wide extension of Universal Rail
Enquiry number 139.
⚫Interactive voice response system(IVRS).

15. Unreserved Ticketing
System (UTS)
Printed card
tickets have
been in vogue
since the
beginning.
Railways had also
introduced electro-
mechanical printing
devices and also
SPTM machines.
But these methods
had limitations
Indian railways
introduced UTS to
improve customer
satisfaction,
revenue generation,
accounting, and
reporting
capabilities and
reduce fraud
The work load involved
in printing , accounting
and issuing tickets to
this mega segment has
been a difficult task
16. Advantages of Unreserved
Ticketing System
•Reduced queue length
•Enable advance planning of unreserved journey
also
•Reduced crowds at booking offices and stations,
making ticket purchase more comfortable
•Allow Indian Railways to plan extra trains and
coaches as per trend of sales registered in the
system.
•Unreserved itinerary planning possible, tickets
available from any station to any station.
19. Rake Management System (RMS)
RMS captures the following events in real time
• Customer indents
• Wagon supply - date and time
• Departure after loading
• Running particulars - arrival/departure at
stations enroute with attachments or
detachments if any
• Arrival at destination
• Handling and delivery at destination
20. Terminal Management System
(TMS)
Terminal Management System computerizes
the following:
▪Calculation of freight and other charges
▪Generation of Railway Receipt(RR)
▪Billing and Account of freight earnings
25. INTERACTIVE VOICE RESPONSE-SYSTEM (IVRS)
The system in which the
information available in the
computer is retrieved by the
user in the form of voice is
known as ‘Interactive Voice
Response System.
26. ⚫The Interactive Voice Response System (IVRS) of
Railway enquiry has now been made accessible to
all cellular networks including CDMA services.
⚫All mobile users now can directly access the IVRS
numbers 139 and 1345 for know the details of
arrival and departure of train services. However,
the CDMA services users have to prefix the STD
code for accessing these services .
27. • IVRS is a full purpose Interactive Voice Response
solution for the following Railways Enquiry types
via Telephone:
• Accommodation Enquiry
• PNR (Reservation) Enquiry
• Status, Arrival/Departure Enquiry
• Fare Enquiry
28. The medium of communication with stations
are of two types:
●Through overhead lines.
●Through Optical fiber cable.
MEDIUM OF COMMUNICATION
29. ⚫The over head lines are joining two
stations through the poles. These poles
are placed near the railway track. The
over head lines having low insulation
compared to optical fiber cable. The
communication can be failed when the
line breaks due to sand storm or fall of
poles…
OVER HEAD LINES
30. ⚫This is an underground line process. In this
communication the message will be sent to one
place to another place is in the form of “Light
Energy”. This light is in the form of infrared.
⚫In this communication the glass fiber cable is
used on the place of cable wire which is
transporting light energy from one place to
another.
OPTICAL FIBER CABLE
31. ⚫Core – Thin glass center
of the fiber where light
travels.
⚫Cladding – Outer optical
material surrounding the
core
⚫Buffer Coating – Plastic
coating that protects
the fiber.
OFC Layers
32.
33. Optical fibers are of two types:
⚫SINGLE MODE FIBERS– used to transmit one
signal per fiber (used in telephone and cable TV).
They have small cores(9 microns in diameter) and
transmit infra-red light.
⚫MULTI MODE FIBERS– used to transmit many
signals per fiber (used in computer networks).
They have larger cores(62.5 microns in diameter)
and transmit infra-red light.
Type of Fibers
34. MODES OF PROPAGATION
1.Multimode Propagation
(Core is larger than cladding)
2.Single mode Propagation
(Core is smaller than cladding)
35. 1. VERY HIGH INFORMATION CARRYING CAPACITY.
2. LESS ATTENUATION (order of 0.2 db/km)
3. SMALL IN DIAMETER AND SIZE & LIGHT WEIGHT
4. LOW COST AS COMPARED TO COPPER (as glass is made from sand..the raw
material used to make OF is free….)
5. GREATER SAFETY AND IMMUNE TO EMI, MOISTURE & COROSSION
6. FLEXIBLE AND EASY TO INSTALL IN TIGHT CONDUICTS
7. ZERO RESALE VALUE (so theft is less)
8. IS DILECTRIC IN NATURE SO CAN BE LAID IN ELECTICALLY SENSITIVE
SURROUNDINGS
9. DIFFICULT TO TAP FIBERS, SO SECURE
10. NO CROSS TALK AND DISTURBANCES
ADVANTAGES OF OPTICAL FIBERS
