Passenger Reservation System,Kolkata Celebrates Glorious 30 years Service

Passenger Reservation System,Kolkata Celebrates Glorious 30 years Service

ER’S 30 YEARS OF PRS IN EASTERN INDIA
Kolkata, December 26, 2017
The Computerized Passenger Reservation System (PRS), Kolkata, o­ne of the oldest PRS of Indian Railways, has started o­n 7th November, 1987. After evolving through different stages, Kolkata PRS has now celebrating the completion of glorious 30 years of successful and dedicated service to the passengers and has emerged as o­ne of the largest commercial network of computer hardware, software and database in the world. It has also taken a giant leap into the unreserved ticketing sector, which was first installed as data centre of Kolkata PRS in 2004.
Kolkata PRS now serves six zones viz. Eastern, South Eastern, East Coast, South East Central, East Central and Northeast Frontier Railway, having nearly 754 trains in its database and connected to nearly 1059 PRS locations with almost 2500 counters. These PRS counters have spread over 16 states and o­ne Union Territory -  Andaman & Nicobar Islands having four working PRS (Port Blair, Car Nicobar, Diglipur AC Office and Port Blair Defence). PRS at Thegu, Sikkim is located at the highest altitude (14000 ft.) PRS in the country where the networking equipment is kept o­n a heat-plate, heated by burning coal.
 Speaking o­n the occasion, Shri Harindra Rao, General Manager, Eastern Railway said that disaster recovery management for the data centre of Kolkata PRS is already in place. Any site including Kolkata PRS can migrate to disaster recovery site at Secunderabad. He further said that presently Eastern Railway has 71 UTS-cum-PRS locations while PRS Kolkata now caters to 39, Kolkata based PRS locations. When Railways first inter-country passenger train services, Maitree Express between Kolkata and Bangladesh was started, Kolkata PRS was ready with a new set of infrastructure. Based o­n the good response and valuable experience after the grand success of Maitree Express, Indo-Bangla Bandhan Express has also been incorporated in the system.
Shri Rao further said that to provide passengers hassle free service instead of  standing in long queue, Railways has arranged brand agents for selling tickets as a foolproof and secure way of proliferating PRS & UTS counters. Presently, there are 133 Yatri Ticket Suvidha Kendras (YTSK)and 3 Jan Sadharan Ticketing Booking Seva (JTBS) operating in Eastern Railway. The introduction of coin based automatic ticket vending machine (ATVM) and cash-coin operated (COTVM) has earned outstanding patronage with 106 ATVMs and 75 COTVMs functioning over Eastern Railway. Shri Rao finally said that since its inception, Kolkata PRS has been in the forefront of technology, innovation, increasing the expectations of passengers and unceasingly working to satisfy their demands. As the paperless ticket coming into being, reservation of berth can now be made with a cell phone (m-ticket).
Shri Sudhir Agrawal, Addl. General Manager, Shri S. S. Gehlot, Principal Chief Commercial Manager, Eastern Railway were also present among other principal officers.
Shri Sanjoy Mukherjee, Retd. Finance Commissioner, Railway Board, was also present o­n the occasion.

Railways, ISRO to sign MoU over Remote Sensing, GIS Technologies

Railways, ISRO to sign MoU over Remote Sensing, GIS Technologies

New Delhi: Aiming at effective use of space technology in remote sensing and graphic information system (GIS) based applications, Railways is set to join hands with Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).

An MoU will be signed between Railways and ISRO, under Department of Space, tomorrow for developing applications in the field of remote sensing and GIS.

The MoU will enable use of space technology tools in providing passenger information for all trains, indicating next station/stoppage, real-time train-tracking, survey of new rail route alignments particularly in hilly and difficult terrains.

It will also aid in conducting track vulnerability studies, mapping of assets, audio-visual warning to road users at unmanned level crossing gates and introduction of web-enabled rail user-centric services.

Currently, Railways is using space technology for providing connectivity to Passenger Reservation System (PRS) counters and unreserved ticketing system at remote  and non-rail head locations.

Besides this, the technology is used for emergency communication using satellite phones from disaster sites, Global Positioning System ( GPS) for various applications like remote monitoring of locomotives, passenger information system in Mumbai suburban trains and synchronised clocks and WiFi facility in select Rajdhani Express trains.
