Study Notes

Track Management System (TMS)

TMS is a web-based IT application that facilitates effective communication among various users, providing 24x7 availability of information on track assets, inspection records, testing and recording details, maintenance details, and managerial outputs.
TMS software has a modular structure, allowing easy integration of future modules.

TMS Modules

Asset tab: allows users to input track asset details, including rail, sleeper, fastening, weld, joint, blanket/ballast, formation, catch water drain, longitudinal drain, switches, switch expansion joint, long welded rail, bridge, and level crossing.
Inspection tab: permits users to record inspections of track geometry, track components, and track features, including manual and machine-based inspections.
Planning tab: allows users to plan the inspection schedule and track maintenance.
Work tab: enables users to assign resources (man and machine) and report compliance, including details of gang work, special works, and machine works, and asset change details.
Miscellaneous tab: allows users to enter messages, circulars, and inspection notes.
Store Module: facilitates the maintenance of ledgers for issue, receipt, and accountal of various types of P.Way Material.
Report tab: provides users with various standard and analytical reports, including Track Diagram, TRC, OMS results, Track asset details, USFD defects, welding performance analysis, inspection records, and track component condition details.

Integration with TRC and OMS

TMS facilitates uploading of mechanized recording done by machines such as Track Recording Car (TRC) and Oscillation Monitoring System (OMS) and analysis thereof.
TMS provides alerts in the form of SMS, email, and application home page alerts to end users for maintaining track geometry and adhering to their inspection schedules.

Security Features of TMS

Access to TMS software is based on username and password-based authentication method.
System Administrator assigns various roles to individual users, and access to various modules is custom-designed for different users.
Users have customized user interfaces to enable effective use of TMS modules.
