INDIAN RAIL OFFICIALS LOOKING AT VT EQUIPMENT MONITORING
India’s Delhi Metro Rail Corp. (DMRC) says it plans to implement centralized online vertical-transportation (VT) equipment monitoring in an effort to reduce downtime of the network's more than 1,500 units, The Indian Express reports. DMRC said it was accepting bids for centralized monitoring of elevators and escalators on the Pink Line, the network's longest at 59 km. The line is under construction and will eventually have 135 elevators and 215 escalators. As of September, 56 elevators and 106 escalators were operational. A DMRC spokesman says VT equipment status and fault codes are already available, and that equipment is fixed once that information is conveyed to station authorities. Having the information faster in a central location will speed the repair process, he says.
