  • Design and Operations of Indian Railways
    Design and Operations of Indian Railways Dual Degree Dissertation Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of degree of Master of Technology by Hussain Bharmal (10D170002) Supervisor Prof. Narayan Rangaraj, Dept of Industrial Engineering and Operations Research Department of Mechanical Engineering INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, BOMBAY June 2015 Dedication To Indian Railways, all those train rides across the country have inspired me to contribute. i ii Abstract India has a very high and growing demand for passenger as well as freight trains and there is a need to increase the capacity of existing railway sections to meet this demand. There are sections in the country which are already saturated with extremely congested lines. Better operations (if possible) of these sections is also imperative. This thesis is divided into the following parts: Understanding different signaling technologies in railway systems and their impact on through- put of the section. The term `capacity' of a section will be understood in detail and its definition shall be adopted differently in different cases. Cab to cab signaling (also called just cab signaling) is a form of signaling in which the train driver has information about the location of the train around it in real time, much like traffic on a road. Strategies as to how this technology should be used if implemented in a real section will be devised, keeping different objectives like latency and headway in mind. In order to do this, an algorithm on how to position automatic signals in order to get minimum headway and the parallels of this with cab signaling shall be explained.
