Energy Efficiency

RRTS trains have push buttons for selective opening of doors. This eliminates the opening of all doors at every station, thus leading to energy saving. RRTS trainsets, named Namo Bharat, 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

ticket-system

NCRTC has adopted Automatic Fare Collection (AFC) system for Delhi- Ghaziabad- Meerut RRTS 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 be […]

Integrated Real-Time Enterprise Asset Management System

The RRTS 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, GIS, […]

ETCS L2 Signalling

tower

For India’s first RRTS, 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 supervision […]

Track Structure

The pre-cast ballastless tracks for RRTS, which support high design speed of 180 kmph, are being indigenously manufactured in India. RRTS tracks support high-performance and require low maintenance thus reducing the life-cycle cost.
