With Prof. Sajan Mathew, we went to Anekal railway station to find out about the dynamics of train travel, how effective and efficient are the processes, mainly the signalling, ticketing, safety, maintenance and operations at the railway station.
We were interested in understanding how trains run safely and effectively on the Hosur Bangalore route. We went at 1 pm to interact with the railway authorities and explore the opportunities for digital transformation mini projects by MBA students, to begin with.Scheduling, safety and operational maintenance are interesting areas where there are possibilities for cooperation and collaboration.
The communications link, power supply and backup power were operated and maintained at the highest levels by the dedicated team of the station manager and the 9-10 crew there. By ensuring that the station manager and crew work only for 48 hours in a 168 hour week and having a team of three to four members each, the team can man the station 24×7.
Safety is no doubt the greatest responsibility of the team at the railway station. By having a hybrid system that utilizes technology under supervised manual control, the railways can ensure accident free rides to the public.
We intend to interact with Railways authorities in the future to explore avenues of collaboration between Railways and Alliance University.
