Energy Efficiency
Namo Bharat trains have push buttons for selective opening of doors. This eliminates the opening of all doors at every station, thus leading to energy saving. These trainsets also have state-of-the-art Regenerative Braking System which converts the train’s kinetic energy into electrical energy.
Platform Screen Doors – NCRTC
Platform Screen Doors (PSDs) are being used to isolate the platforms from the track. PSDs open only when the train stops at the correct position. The use of PSDs helps to prevent accidents, objects falling on track, and trespassing. PSDs are synchronously controlled throughout the length of the platform. PSDs which are on the platform […]
Automatic Fare Collection
NCRTC has adopted Automatic Fare Collection (AFC) system for Delhi- Ghaziabad- Meerut Namo Bharat corridor. AFC offers QR Code based ticketing (Digital QR & Paper QR). Each Ticket Vending Machine (TVM) is equipped with a credit/debit/pre-paid card reader compliant with RuPay standard for non-cash payment of transactions. This will ensure a contactless entry/exit that will […]
Integrated Real-Time Enterprise Asset Management System
The Namo Bharat project is asset intensive and hence, management and maintenance of its assets through well-defined and coordinated processes plays a key role in the success of the project. NCRTC is implementing an Integrated Real-Time Enterprise Asset Management System (iDREAMS) which would ingest real-time data from different sources and other subsystems such as BIM, […]
ETCS L2 Signalling
For India’s first Namo Bharat, NCRTC has implemented European Train Control System (ETCS) Level 2 which includes Automatic Train Protection (ATP), Automatic Train Operation (ATO), and Automatic Train Supervision (ATS) sub-systems using radio communication between track side and train. ETCS Level 2 signaling is being used for the first time in India, which involves continuous […]
Track Structure
The pre-cast ballastless tracks for Namo Bharat, which support high design speed of 180 kmph, are being indigenously manufactured in India. Namo Bharat tracks support high-performance and require low maintenance thus reducing the life-cycle cost.
