CBTC fitting strategies and challenges for maintenance vehiclesSYSTRA
The global deployment of CBTC technology in mass transit transportation system is slowly but surely stepping into the infrastructure maintenance vehicles operation, raising the question about the automation level required for these specific rolling stock vehicles.
Depending on the chosen automation levels, the effort level required to overcome the technical challenges requires proper assessment. Undertaking a multi-disciplinary criteria approach analysis with the right level of expertise at the early stages of the project will ensure that the investments will adequately meet the needs of the end users.
Metro rail India has been a success story. Yet cities with lower projected ridership are also aspiring for rail based mass rapid transit system, being safe, punctual and reliable. The wish list can be fulfilled by Light Urban Rail Transit System named "Metrolite" policy by the Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs (MoHUA) which proposes lesser capacity, at less cost, and low O& M costs.
All Tier Two cities and suburban areas of Metropolitan cities are the key clients as the systems appears viable.
'Metrolite' would also act as feeder system to high capacity Metro.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder
Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).
Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.
2. Introduction
Three major components interact in intermodal terminal
operations; rail track operations, storage yard operations
and gate operations. The purpose is to ensure that each
operation interacts efficiently with the other since a delay
with one operation will have impacts on the others. For
instance, a problem with storage yard operations will
create delays both at the rail track and gate operations
and have an impact on the terminal productivity and the
quality of its services. An intermodal rail container
terminal is commonly composed of the following
elements, each performing a specific function:
3.
4. 1. Intermodal yard:
The core of the terminal where unit trains are loaded and
unloaded by cranes (rubber-tired gantries) or lifts (side-
loaders). They can be more than 2 km in length due to the
large size of container unit trains (100 cars).
2. Storage area:
Acts as a buffer between the road system (drayage) and the
intermodal yard. It often covers an area similar in size than the
intermodal yard as modern rail intermodal yards are heavy
consumers of space. Storage in the intermodal yard can be
grounded where containers are stored by stacking them upon
one another, or wheeled with containers stored on chassis.
5. 3. Classification Yard:
A yard is a system of tracks laid out to deal with the passenger
as well as goods traffic being handled by the railways. This
includes receipt and dispatch of trains apart from stabling,
sorting, marshalling, and other such functions. Yards are
normally classified into the following categories.
3.1 Coaching yard:
The main function of a coaching yard is to deal with the
reception and dispatch of passenger trains. Depending upon
the volume of traffic, this yard provides facilities such as
watering and fueling of engines, washing of rakes,
examination of coaches, charging of batteries, and trans-
shipment of passengers.
6. 3.2. Goods yard:
A goods yard provides facilities for the reception, stabling, loading,
unloading, and dispatch of goods wagons. Most goods yards deal with a
full train load of wagons. No sorting, marshalling, and reforming is done at
goods yards except in the case of 'sick' wagons or a few wagons booked for
that particular station. Separate goods sidings are provided with the
platforms for the loading and unloading of the goods being handled at that
station.
3.3. Locomotive yard:
This is the yard which houses the locomotive. Facilities for watering,
fueling, examining locomotives, repairing, etc., are provided in this yard.
The yard layout is designed depending upon the number of locomotives
required to be housed in the locomotive shed. The facilities are so
arranged that a requisite number of locomotives are serviced
simultaneously and are readily available for hauling the trains. Such yards
should have adequate space for storing fuel. The water supply should be
adequate for washing the locomotives and servicing them.
7. 3.4. Sick line yard:
Whenever a wagon or coach becomes defective, it is
marked 'sick' and taken to sick lines. This yard deals
with such sick wagons. Adequate facilities are
provided for the repair of coaches and wagons,
which include examination pits, crane arrangements,
train examiner's office and workshop, etc. A good
stock of spare parts should also be available with the
TXR (train examiner) for repairing defective rolling
stock.
8. 3.5. Marshalling yard:
A goods yard which deals with the sorting of goods wagons to form
new goods trains is called a marshalling yard.
3.5.1. Flat yard:
In this type of yard, all the tracks are laid almost level and the
wagons are relocated for sorting, etc., with the help of an engine.
This method is costly, as it involves frequent shunting, which
requires the constant use of locomotive power. The time required is
also more as the engine has to traverse the same distance twice,
first to carry the wagons to the place where they are to be sorted
and then to return idle to the yard. This arrangement, therefore, is
adopted when
(a) there is limitation of space,
(b) there is a severe limitation of funds, or
(c) the number of wagons dealt with by the marshalling yard is
very low.
9. 3.5.2. Gravitation yard:
In this yard, the level of the natural ground is such that it is possible to lay
some tracks at a gradient. The tracks are so laid that the wagons move to the
siding assigned for the purpose of sorting by the action of gravity. Sometimes,
shunting is done with the help of gravity assisted by engine power. However, it
is very seldom that natural ground levels are so well suited for gravitation
yards.
3.5.3. Hump yard:
In this yard, an artificial hump is created by means of proper earthwork. The
wagons are pushed up to the summit of the hump with the help of an engine
from where they slide down and reach the sidings under the effect of gravity.
A hump yard, therefore, can be said to be a gravitation yard as shunting is
done under the effect of gravity. The gradients normally adopted in this regard
are listed in Table 26.3. These are, however, only recommended gradients and
the final gradient for a particular yard is decided after a test run of the trains
over the humps, taking into consideration the rolling quality of different types
of wagons and the spacing between successive groups of wagons. The
topography of the location of the yard also plays an important role in deciding
the gradient.
10.
11. 3.6. CONTAINERIZATION
3.6.1. Double-stack containerization (COFC):
Most flatcars (flat wagons) cannot carry more than one standard 40-
foot (12.2 m) container on top of another because of limited vertical
clearance, even though they usually can carry the weight of two.
Carrying half the possible weight is inefficient. However, if the rail line
has been built with sufficient vertical clearance, a double-stack car can
accept a container and still leave enough clearance for another
container on top.
3.6.2. Rolling highways and piggy back service (TOFC):
In some countries rolling highway, or rolling road,[19] trains are used;
trucks can drive straight onto the train and drive off again when the
end destination is reached. A system like this is used on the Channel
Tunnel between the United Kingdom and France, as well as on the
Konkan Railway in India. In other countries, the tractor unit of each
truck is not carried on the train, only the trailer. Piggy back trains are
common in the United States, where they are also known as trailer on
flat car.
12.
13. 4. Gate:
This is where the truck driver presents proper
documentation (bill of lading) for pick up or delivery.
Most of the inspection is done remotely with cameras
and intercom systems where an operator can remotely
see for instance the container number of an existing
truck and verify if it corresponds to the bill of lading. If
international cargo is concerned, then it must have
been first cleared by customs. To simplify matters and
increase throughput, there are often separate entry
and exit gates and dedicated lanes for empties or
chassis returns.
14. PROBLEMS
1. Entry Costs:
With all upfront and variable investments, the
business has become highly capital intensive with a
long gestation period for CTOs(container train operator).
They had to pay Rs 500 m/Rs 100 m as one time
registration fee.
2. Pricing:
The major pricing element is the haulage, a charge that
IR levies on CTOs for using its tracks, locos, and signaling
infrastructure. Other elements are development
surcharge, parking, and stabling charges. These prices
have a significant impact on the CTO’s operational costs.
15. 3. Service Levels:
The policy did not provide CTOs any service level
guarantees from IR. CTOs were demanding guaranteed
transit time or a fixed time tabled schedule for container
trains, which IR denied on the ground of network
capacity constraints. As of now, IR does not have a time
table for freight trains. Passenger trains run with a time
table and are given priority over freight trains.
4. Maintenance:
Rake maintenance is only done by the IR at designated
facilities. As of December 2009, the designated facilities
were 21, eight in IR yards, 10 in CONCOR premises, and
three in CTOs’ premises (one each of Adani Logistics Ltd,
Gateway Rail Freight Pvt Ltd and CWC).
16. 5. Terminals:
Terminals are yards where the consolidation of cargo is
done. To provide some relief to CTOs, till the time they
build their own terminal base, IR authorized Zonal
Railways to notify one or more railway owned terminals
(goods sheds, railway sidings, unused railway lines etc)
as a container rail terminal (CRT) depending upon the
requirement.
6. Level Playing Field with CONCOR:
Though the policy did provide a level playing field to
CTOs with CONCOR, CONCOR is still benefiting due to its
earlier protection from the IR. While CTOs have to buy
land at market prices, CONCOR had been provided land
at prime locations from the IR at a low rate. CONCOR
still pays a very nominal lease rent for this land.
17. SOLUTIONS
1.Entry Costs:
In spite of the entry costs, 16 operators entered the
market. Potential operators can get into agreements
with existing operators to minimize capital investments.
Hence, issue of entry costs may not be significant.
2.Pricing and Service Levels:
There are two interfaces which are subject to
regulation for pricing and service level guarantees
(i) IR vis-à-vis CTOs and (ii) CTOs vis-à-vis customers.
18. 3) Maintenance:
There is a need for more number of wagon examination
facilities in the country. A vision on how these facilities
should be developed and operationalized is a policy
matter and needs attention. Though CTOs are currently
allowed to establish facilities in their premises, the train
examination is done only by the railway TXR staff which
results in delays. .
4) Terminals:
While the Greenfield terminal development is more
capital intensive due to land prices, modernization of
Brownfield terminals should be given priority.
5) Level Playing Field with CONCOR: IR should dilute its
ownership in CONCOR, which is currently 63%, for
providing a true level playing field to CTOs with CONCOR.
Due to holding more than 50% stake, IR has control on
the ownership and management of CONCOR
