In the next two weeks, you will be able to see the detailed status of all running trains at the click of a button. The railways will unveil a dashboard for public, which will have information that is of use to them as passengers and also to business entities which transport goods through the railway network.
Though currently people can see the running status of trains, the new dashboard will be one-point destination to get several live updates. The trains on dashboard will be in three colours – green for those running on time or late by not more than five minutes, blue for trains late between five and 15 minutes, while those running late beyond 15 minutes will be indicated in red.
Sources said the trial of the online dashboard that collates huge data from different sources has been successful. “Rail minister and top officials have got access to the dashboard, which displays information under different heads, including the daily earnings, passenger travelled and goods transported. They can see what’s exactly happening at base kitchens. They can also see the types of grievances the passengers and other users have for taking corrective action,” said a rail ministry official.
“It will serve purpose of different users. Officials can get the updated details of projects and their status. So, monitoring will be more effective. This is for the first time, any government organization went to this level in an effort to bring transparency and putting everything in public domain,” said another official.
