.02.2025
As per- extant practice, to fulfill the extra rush (passenger) demand on different
occasions (e.g. Festivals,· summer vacation, Holi, Deepa\vaJi etc.), Zona] railways
submit their special train requirements to the Railway Board for approval.
Subsequently after approval, the zonal raihvay concerned, notifies the train services
for Public and Railways.
2. In order to make the exercise more data driven with cross zone visibility of
planning, a "Train Demand Utility/Module" has been developed by CRIS - in
PRIMES and ICMS applications respectively for Commercial and Operating users.
The brief features of these modules are as under:
• This utility helps to estimate the number of train· trips needed for specific Origin-
Destination (0-D) pairs.
• Demand could be assessed using historical date ranges (for a reference period) and
for specific 0-D pairs from ~ptions such as Stations, Clusters, Zones, States, or
Stations within a specific KM range.
• Unmet demand of live trains is also taken into cons.ideration.
• Real time availability of the of coaches vis a vis lie over rakes and spare coaches is
available to process the demand.
• Proposals under approval in other zonal railways are aJso visible for realistic
assessment of demand.
• Online processing for approval of demand from Comn1ercial to Operatino
department and from zonal railways. The proposal would be sent to Raih\1ay Board
through the utility itself and the approval would also be con1n1unicated through the
same.
• MIS reports are available to monitor the current den1and status inPRlNIES and
ICMS.
