Indian railways new application “Rail
Radar” enables the commuters to know the location of a train on a map
and visualize the running-train network on Google maps. The Centre
for Railway Information Systems (CRIS), the information
technology (IT) arm of the Indian Railways has developed the
application.
Available at http://railradar.trainenquiry.com/
, the service allows you find out the exact location of a train. This is an
improved version of the earlier tracking system "Spot Your Train."
The interactive map can zoom in and zoom out to
get station and train details. Users can search for a particular station or
train to get specific details of trains around the station or running status of
a train, location, its route and stoppages. Rail Radar also gives an overview
on trains running on time as well as status of delayed trains. In case of a
mishap/unplanned activity, Rail Radar would be able to provide users with an
overview of situation and train status across the country.
Currently, Rail Radar is configured to
update/refresh itself every five minutes, which means that in any scenario, the
location and status of the trains displayed on Rail Radar will always be five
or more minutes delayed. CRIS had announced the launch of the app at NAMA
conference hosted by Medianama in Gurgaon.
