Railways have provided the Passenger information systems like Coach Guidance System and Train
Indicators Boards at various stations which act as an important interfiiee between the Passengers and the
Railways. The reliability of Train information being conveyed by such systems to passengers is very
important and any gapyerror in the information displayed creates onvenienee for the passengers.
Hence it is very important that the information for every stopping train displayed on such systems is
correct and reliable.

In view of above, CRB and CEO Railway Board has desired that due weightage be given by Railways to
ehsure correct and reliable display of Train information on such systems. To achieve this, all Passenger
Information system should be integrated with National Train Enquit ‘steM OM topmost priority for
automatic display of Train information at stations.

Passenger Information system complying with RDSO specifications revision 2 and 3 can be integrated
with NTES using serial port. However, such systems are not able to display correct Coaching information
ler Engine reversal and therefore require manual entry/checking after every Engine reversal. Further it
is observed that such systems are very old and mast of them have outlived their codal life and therefore
feed to be rephiced with Systems complying with जिला RDSO Specifications on topmost priority.
Passenger Information system complying with RDSO specifications Revision-$ and above should always
integrated with NTES using API based interface, which would then display correct coaching
information even after Engine reversal and thus eliminating the need for any manual intervention.

Under the direetions of CRB & CEO/Railway Board. a study was conducted on North Central Railway
for checking the correctness of data displayed by such systems. As per the data received from this study
(oopy enclosed) and analysed by CRIS, it has been observed that for some trains, either the train data was
not fed by the user'train originating station, of incorrect coach configuration was entered. Such mistakes
should be avoided and appropriate action need to be taken against the delinquent officials,

Further it is desirable that at platforms where more than 6 reserved trains stop in a day. Coach Guidance

Systems are installed for passenger canvenience. anti
