RAILWAYS TERMINAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

---

The Railways have taken up Terminal Management System (TMS) to ensure timely loading and unloading of rakes and increase wagon turn around.

The module TMS will cost Rs.426 crores.

Meanwhile, the Railways have implemented one core module of computerized Freight Operation Information System (FOIS) for monitoring movement of rakes on all Zopnal Railways by June 2001.

FOIS terminals are now available at 235 locations across the network for monitoring freight rake movement. Implementation of FOIS has resulted in improved management of rakes.
