Real-time Train Information System (RTIS) launched

Real-time Train Information System (RTIS) launched by the Indian Railways for 12 key trains. Via RTIS, passengers can entrée the precise train running information. RTIS is a GPS-based train tracking system. It was jointly developed by the Research Design and Standards Organisation (RDSO), Lucknow and Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kanpur to conquer the restrictions of the present Train Running Information System. Passengers will be provided with the information about the Location of the train, its running position — on time or late, next stop, nearest approaching/crossed station and the speed.
