    Study Notes

    Freight Operating Information System (FOIS)

    • FOIS began as an application for tracking and monitoring the movement of wagons, locomotives, and unit trains.
    • A management module for freight trains handles billing and revenue collections.
    • FOIS provides continuous cargo visibility, enabling customers to access real-time information about their consignments in transit.

    Two Sub-systems of FOIS

    • Rake Management System (RMS): Tracks and manages rake-based consignments, train/rake operations, stock holding, train and stock interchange, terminal handling performance, loco holding, outage and power online, and generates reports on train/load summaries.
    • Terminal Management System (TMS): Manages computerized booking and delivery of consignments, station accounting, RR generation/transmission, customer interface, rake transit reports, freight balanced sheets, inward and outward freight registers, and wagon-wise stock holding and interchange.

    Open Wagons

    • BOXN: PCC for steel, slag, length 10.713 meters, width 3.2 meters, height 3.225 meters, carrying capacity 66.10 tonnes.
    • BOXNHS: PCC for steel, slag, length 10.713 meters, width 3.2 meters, height 3.233 meters, carrying capacity 66 tonnes.
    • BOXNS: PCC for steel, slag, length 10.713 meters, width 3.135 meters, height 3.581 meters, carrying capacity 70.70 tonnes for 25T axle / 79.1T for CC+8.
    • BOXNHL: PCC for steel, slag, length 10.963 meters, width 3.250 meters, height 3.301 meters, carrying capacity 64 tonnes for 25T axle / 70 tonnes for CC+8.
    • BOST: PCC for steel, slag, length 12.800 meters, width 3.100 meters, height 2.835 meters, carrying capacity 65.10 tonnes.

    Carrying capacity and Tare weight of Wagons

    • Includes various types of open, flat, hopper, covered, tank, and container wagons
    • Provides carrying capacity based on different materials, such as steel, slag, fly ash, and coke
    • Specifies tare weight, permissible loading, and tolerance values for each wagon type.

    Freight Calculation of Outward GPWIS Rakes

    • This section details the calculation of freight charges for outward GPWIS rakes for all commodities.
    • It includes factors like:
      • Rate: 508.7 (DPCB as per example for HRC)
