1 Overview
Indian Railways is amongst the largest Railway systems in the world. It provides for a significant part of
the country’s transportation needs, both in the passenger and the freight segment.
One of the major applications of Indian Railways is the Passenger Reservation System (PRS). The PRS
provides reservation services to nearly 1 million passengers a day on over 3500 trains running
throughout the country. The following are some of the projects under the PRS group.
Rates Branch System (RBS) is the software developed by Centre for Railway Information Systems
(CRIS), for computerization of distance calculation and generation of distance tables for all the Railways
The objectives of the software are to calculate distance between any two stations in Indian Railways by
shortest path and the route desired by the user.
Following technologies are used in the Application
• RHEL
• IBM WebSphere 6.0.1
• DB2
HHT project is to computerize the On-board passenger interface operations performed manually by
the Traveling Ticket Examiners (TTEs). Under this project, the TTEs will be provided with a Handheld
Computing Terminal (HHT), which will be linked, to the Central Reservation Computer through a
Wireless network.
Following technologies are used in the Application
