Bombardier Transportation has informed that it has won a contract worth Euro 4 million from Indian Railways, to supply an advanced Traffic Management System (TMS).

The contract entails the design, supply, installation, testing and commissioning of a TMS for the Central Railway in Mumbai.

With the new system, around three million passengers using the Central Railways daily will receive a continuously updated, minute-by-minute countdown showing the exact train time arrival at the platform.

The system will manage train arrivals at each station every three minutes, and provide the information for rapid decision-making in case of disruption.

This is the second time that Bombardier transportation has received order for the supply of TMS to the railways. Earlier, in 2004, Bombardier had won a similar contract for the supply of TMS to Western Railway section in Mumbai.
