| Abstract | This paper describes about the design and implementation of the Computer Assisted Railway Control System for Sri Lanka Railways. Currently, the train traffic control system of Sri Lanka Railways has two control units. They are Outstation and Metropolitan control units. In the outstation unit, TDG (Time Distance Graph) is used to visualize the train movement and make decisions. Controllers spend more time in manually plotting the TDG than decision making and for reporting purposes the same data is re-entered. This leads to more time and money consumption. In the metropolitan unit, switch boards in illumination based panel is used to monitor and control train traffic. This panel has many drawbacks such as congested layout, unclear information and unreliable bulbs and switches. So at the end of the day, all these problems contribute to trains getting delayed. The proposed system is built using 4-tier networked architecture which addresses the aforementioned drawbacks and bottlenecks. Features such as TDG, TDG Designer, Track Designer, Dispatcher Control View, Rules Editor, Train Timetable, Traffic Control Playback, Auto Train Supervision and Reporting have helped to improve the overall operation of Centralized Train Traffic Controlling of Sri Lanka Railways. Moreover, the solution comprises a high performance and more reliable hardware unit with higher I/O capacity that provides a hardware interface between the proposed system and the existing electromechanical interlocking system. The solution was successfully tested at Maradana Control Office and Dematagoda Workshop with the presence of senior officials from Sri Lanka Railways and proved its potential for implementation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
