SCOPE OF PROJECT
The following are included in the scope of projects to be
undertaken through the mission:
-
Literature
survey, study of existing methodologies.
-
Modeling and the analysis
-
Development of solutions
relevant to the project
-
Validating solutions through
carefully chosen experiments
-
Design and prototype
development of
-
Instrumentation electronics
-
Analysis software
-
Systems including hardware
and software for networking,
-
Data acquisition and data
analysis
-
Embedded systems where
applicable
-
Technology demonstration of
the prototype system
Mass production and
deployment is not included in the scope of the projects.
ASSUMPTIONS
The following
assumptions are made:
-
For each of these projects,
the detailed specification, expectations and the timeliness
need to be evolved in consultation with Indian Railways.
-
The history and necessary
data for analyzing the root cause will be provided by Indian
Railways.
-
Any details on the existing
solutions if any, from other suppliers within the country
and outside the country could be provided by Indian
Railways.
-
Indian railways will provide
all the necessary support both in terms of infrastructure
and in terms of manpower for fitment, field trials etc. and
specialized equipments as available with them which will be
identified for the various projects either for validating
the analytical studies or for qualification of the
technology demonstrator solutions.
-
Any physical mechanical work
involved in integrating solution like assembly of the
wheels, sensor mounting on tracks, bridges, harness
preparation etc will be done by Indian Railways.
-
Indian Railways are proposing
to build a test track exclusively to undertake trials and
tests. This track will take some time to build. In the
interim, Indian Railways may nominate one main line standard
track of at least 50 km length where traffic density is low
and blocks may be given (without effecting the revenue
carrying passenger and freight traffic), for trials.
DELIVERABLE PART
