One of the main challenges faced by Indian Railways is to increase their share in freight movement and capture the opportunity of anticipated enhancement in freight movement in the future.  This coupled with ever increasing passenger traffic and providing comfortable and punctual passenger movement calls for Automation of Train Operations to meet the challenges mentioned above.

For Railways the primary objectives are to

               1.      Improve Train Service Availability

               2.      Improve Reliability of the Train Operations

               3.      Reduce the transit time

               4.      Make the train movement predictable

               5.      Improve the Line Capacity 

Train Management System is an effective and efficient way to increase the Rail Network capacity and provides reliable operation of trains on shorter headways between trains and will enable Railways to successfully meet the demands and challenges of the future.

HBL’s TMS offers the following benefits:

1.    Increased Line Capacity by reducing the headways between trains by real-time availability of train movement information.

2.    Improvement in Punctuality(in maintaining schedule) of the trains thereby improving the Reliability of Train Operations

3.    Improvement in Safety by efficient enforcement of speed restrictions

4.    Optimization of train planning and operations process

5.    Reduced Response times to routine actions and emergency events for enabling faster and more reliable decision making.

6.    Accurate and uniform availability of real-time data to all Control Office personnel resulting in seamless operations during take-over and hand-over of trains.
