During their visit, the students learned about the operations and cutting-edge technology employed in the metro rail. They were informed about the heavy investment in infrastructure and rolling stock, which necessitates optimization of its capacity to provide the best services to the public. These requirements of the metro are achieved by adopting ATP (Automatic Train Protection) and ATS (Automatic Train Supervision) signaling systems. The metro officials also shared plans of implementing Automatic Train Operation (ATO) in the future with our students. The students had interesting queries about the Automatic Fare Collection, which were addressed by the officials enthusiastically. This incredible learning opportunity exposed the budding professionals to the importance of various lean but effective organizational structures and the implementation of suitable modifications to adapt to the changes occurring in the external environment. The students were also briefed on the various technical aspects such as the Trip Distribution Model, Gravity Trip Distribution Model, Trip Length Frequency Distributions, Telecommunication System, and Transmission Media.
