Lucknow Metro | LMRC uses advanced telecommunication systems in metro rail network

Lucknow: The telecommunication system being used in the Lucknow Metro Rail Corporation (LMRC) is one of the most advanced systems in Metro operation which is used in operational 8.5 km “Priority Corridor” between Transport Nagar and Charbagh. Lucknow Metro is using this state-of-the-art telecommunication and has planned to use the same system for the whole corridor in the upcoming underground as well as the elevated sections of the North South corridor (Phase 1-A).


In this system, Gigabit Ethernet is used as backbone transmission network and nodes (stations as well as Operation Control Centre) are connected by duplicate rings of Optical Fiber and Communication system is designed in a way that failure of a single component does not affect availibility of the whole system during the operation of the Metro train.


This system provides video phone facilities at all the Station Control Room and Theatre at Operation Control Centre for communication between train operator and the operation controller by wireless Radio system which is based on TETRA standards. Through this facility, train operators can immediately convey the message in their group (all trains, station control rooms & contollers in OCC) and can take instructions from authorities accordingly.


Announcement system is also available in Lucknow Metro through which train arrival/departure related announcements at platform and concourse level of the station is made through automatic system as per the position and its expectation at stations. Passenger Information Display Boards available in Metro train and at platforms level at all Metro stations display the information of train arrival/departure at the double sided display boards.


Lucknow Metro is the first Metro in the country which has tied up with Radio City 91.1 FM and launched its very own FM Radio. It is now providing specialised content, public announcements, jingles, melodious music at all Metro stations for the commuters of Lucknow Metro.

Innovative SkyWay technologies: Future Transportation

Image
SkyWay string transport is an energy and transportation communicator of elevated overpass type. It uses electric vehicles on steel wheels riding on specific string rails. The main design differences of this system from other types of railroads of trestle design are pre-stressed tension of the structure, the absence of a continuous solid roadbed, low materials intensity in construction and visual simplicity. The main advantages are economic efficiency, environmental friendliness, durability, reliability, safety and, consequently, high market competitiveness. SkyWay transport is developing in three main areas: high-speed intercity type (up to 500 km/h, and in future, up to 1250 km/h with the transition to a pre-vacuum tube) urban passenger type (up to 150 km/h) and freight type. It has no analogues in its field with the ability to meet the entire range of transportation needs. In future it can be integrated into a unified global energy, information and transportation network, which will ...
