Abstract
The Government of India launched a Technology Mission on Indian Railways recently. The Ministry of Human Resource Development, Ministry of Railways and a consortium of private industries sponsored the effort jointly. The goals and objectives of the mission included (i) development and adoption of state-of-art safety and control technologies through projects aimed towards achieving higher throughput, lower cost of transmission and safer train movement (ii) encouraging and initiating R & D activities pertinent to Railways in academic institutions and laboratories and establish convergence and synergy among them (iii) dissemination of technologies through participatory approach to other application areas. The paper describes some projects in technical detail and discusses issues pertaining to mission implementation and monitoring.
