GAGAN, ISRO and Indian Railways

Imagine 350 LIVE TRAIN UPDATES on location and speed of trains, arriving every second, 24 x 7, at the Centre for Railway Information Systems (CRIS) central computers in Delhi from the 12,000 trains playing on the Indian Railway network, enabled by the GPS Aided Geo Augmented Navigation (GAGAN) system of ISRO, relaying both location and speed every 30 seconds from all the 12,000 trains on Indian Railway networks across the country in REAL TIME ..  

That's a lot of data inputs transmission in one of the largest Data Analytics experiments being planned by Indian Railways in human history, ably supported by ISRO.. 

This is the future of Indian Railways which is sure to offer lot of other unimaginable benefits for the rail traveling public in the country .. 

Presently with the partially realised system at CRIS HQ, ND, about 140 rail updates are being handled and analysed every second, which by Oct 2020 is expected to reach 350 updates per second. 

Way to go Indian Railways and ISRO .. 🙏🙏
