13.3.6 Driver Machine Interface of TCAS

A typical overall view of DMI is shown below:

Section 4: Traffic Management System (TMS)

13.4.1 Traffic Management System (TMS)
Traffic Management System broadly carries out following functions:

(a) Centralized Operation of Signalling Systems for a large section
encompassing multiple interlocked stations and LC gates.

(b) Centralized Real time Monitoring of Train Traffic for enabling efficient
decision making for traffic control of large section.

(c) Interfacing & real time data sharing with COA (Control Office Application),
Crew management system, PA system at station, ATP, etc. as required.

(d) TMS should have facility of Automatic route setting (ARS), Long route
setting, Route stacking command for avoiding repetitive operation by
controller.

(e) The system shall be able to generate various MIS report, train graph and
detect and manage alarms and logs generated in the system.

Note: CTC (Centralised Traffic Control) system caters for centralised control &
supervision of train operation whereas TMS system comprises of CTC system as well
as other management tools like MIS report, time tabling, asset monitoring, interfaces
with COA, ATP system, crew management & passenger information system etc. CTC is
a sub set of TMS.
