Amrit Bharat Train: Facilitating General Passengers
Amrit Bharat train inauguration was held today by PM Modi at Ayodhya Dham. Indian Railways has ‘introduced’ the new technology Push Pull in the train sets. The name of this train has been given as Amrit Bharat. The special thing about this is that the train is being run for the common people and workers, where there will be sleepers and general classes.

On Saturday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi flagged off several trains from Ayodhya Dham to connect Ayodhya Dham with the entire country. This also includes two trains connecting Delhi and Ayodhya. One is Amrit Bharat Express and one is Vande Bharat Express. Vande Bharat train will reach Ayodhya from Delhi via Kanpur, Lucknow. At the same time, Amrit Bharat Express connecting Delhi to Ayodhya will go from Delhi to Darbhanga via Gorakhpur.

Information about Amrit Bharat

At present, two types of trains are operating in Indian Railways.

The first category in which engines are used includes all mail and express trains, including Shatabdi and Rajdhani.

The second category is train set. Amrit Bharat, Vande Bharat and EMU trains are in this category.

Amrit Bharat Train is the new train of Indian Railways, which will work on the technology of Vande Bharat only. Moreover, it will only consist of general and sleeper coaches. The unique aspect of the Amrit Bharat train is that, unlike regular sleeper trains, it will not increase its speed or decrease the distance between stations. However, the train will still reach its destination faster than other trains.

Railway Minister Informed

Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav has given information regarding the country’s first such special train. He said that push-pull technology is being used for the first time in the country. In other train sets including Vande Bharat, the motor is installed after the two coaches.

But the Amrit Bharat train has two engines at the front and rear. The biggest advantage of two engines will be more pickup of the train. Also, when the train slows down, it will pick up speed again in a short time. This can be considered as a modified version of Vande Bharat. Also, a semi-permanent coupling has been installed to connect two coaches.

The Railway Minister stated that the speed of a train is not as important as its acceleration. The train slows down at curves, intersections and signals on the way and it takes time to regain speed. But the Amrit Bharat train can pick up speed again in less time. In this way, it will reach the destination sooner than other sleeper trains.

That’s why Amrit Bharat train is special
- Push-pull trains will have powerful engines on both sides. The front engine will pull the train, and the rear engine will push it.
- “When both engines are running, the train’s speed will increase. Additionally, the train will continue to accelerate at the same rate it decelerates at stations. The final speed of the train will be 130 km/h.”
- Although the Amrit Bharat train will have two engines like the Vande Bharat, its features will be different, which will provide additional special facilities to the passengers.
- The newly designed coaches will not only ensure a safe journey but also prevent passengers from getting shocks.
- The train will have only sleepers and general coaches. A total of 22 coaches including 12 sleepers, 8 general, one parcel van and a brake van (guard van) will be installed in a train rake.
- There will be no power car on this train. Power will be supplied to the coaches from both engines only. This will also protect the environment. Reversal of the engine in the station yard and on the way will provide relief from changing direction.
- If someone wants to travel on the Amrit Bharat train, they must purchase a ticket by specifying the train name. This has been done because there is a difference in fares between trains. Amrit Bharat may also be written on the ticket.

Delhi Airport will be equipped with AI

Delhi Airport will be eqipped with AI (Artificial Intelligence). In view of the increasing passenger movement this is been decided. Especially, Artificial Intelligence based analytics and camera-based solutions will be used to improve operations.

Videh Kumar is the Chief Executive Officer of Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL), the company that operates the country’s largest airport. He said, ‘We are thinking of adopting more digital solutions for operations. These solutions can be based on the Internet of Things (IoT) and AI. We will use predictive analytics to improve airport operations.’

How AI will help to manage Delhi airport

Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize the way airports are managed, making them more efficient, secure, and passenger-friendly. For your information Delhi airport operates around 1,500 flights daily. Here are some specific examples of how AI will be used to improve Delhi airport operations.

Passenger flow management

AI can be used to analyze passenger data to predict foot traffic patterns and identify potential bottlenecks. This information can then be used to optimize staffing levels, signage, and queue management systems to reduce congestion and improve passenger flow.

Virtual queuing

AI-powered virtual queuing systems can allow passengers to reserve their place in line for security checkpoints, baggage check-in, and other airport services. This can help to reduce waiting times and improve the overall passenger experience.

Biometric boarding

AI can power biometric boarding systems that use facial recognition or other biometric identifiers to verify passenger identities and authorize boarding. Certainly, this can help to speed up the boarding process and reduce the need for manual checks.

AI bag scanning

AI-powered screening systems can automatically analyze X-ray images of baggage to identify potential threats, such as weapons or explosives. This can help to improve security and reduce the need for manual inspections.

Predictive maintenance

AI can be used to analyze data from airport infrastructure, such as baggage handling systems and aircraft maintenance records, to predict when equipment is likely to fail. This information can then be used to schedule preventive maintenance, which can help to reduce downtime and improve the overall reliability of airport operations.

Safety and Security

AI can be used to monitor and analyze data from security cameras, sensors, and other sources to identify potential security threats. Altogether, this information will be used to alert security personnel and take appropriate action.

Customer service

Passengers can receive flight information, answers to questions, and issue resolution from AI chatbots and virtual assistants. Additionally, it will improve the customer service experience and reduce the burden on human representatives.

Sum Up

Overall, AI has the potential to make a significant positive impact on the way airports are managed. Moreover, AI will enhance efficiency, security, and passenger experience at Delhi Airport.
