Train travelling is becoming faster and safer due to the
advancement in technologies. New technologies are adopted to cope
with the increasing demand in the transportation sector especially
in rail transport owing to the problems, like congestion, pollution
etc faced in road transport. In the current scenario of growing
urbanisation and terrorism, a need is felt for an efficient mass
transit system ensuring passenger safety. Countries like Japan,
China have developed new technologies in rail transit systems,
which have simplified the life of commuters. Indian Railways are
also not behind in the race of using new technologies. Indian
Railways have started metro rails in Kolkata, Delhi and have
launched new metro rail projects in many other cities like Mumbai
and Bangalore. Over the past few years, positive steps have been
taken in creating a modern Mass Rapid transit System in India. Many
new technologies have been used in the construction and management
of metro rails. The book describes different technologies used by
countries world-wide. It covers the experiences and prospects of
rail transport in different parts of the world. It also gives and
idea of the efforts put in by the Indian Railways in upgrading and
modernising their technology and provides a glimpse of their future
plans. Indian Railways have taken an encouraging step towards the
development of an efficient, new technology based mass urban
transit system. With increasing urbanisation and rising population
in India, building an efficient mass transit system is a challenge
for Indian Railways. Success of Indian Railways to achieve this
objective would solve the transportation problems of our cities.
