National Train Enquiries System (NTES)

National Train Enquiry System is a reliable centralised information system which provides up-to-date and accurate information to the passengers regarding:- 

• Arrival/ Departure  of passenger trains including Expected time of arrival (ETA) of trains
  

•  Platform berthing of passenger trains
  

•  Journey Planning (presently SMART package)
  

•  Facilities available at stations (presently GLOBAL ENQUIRY package)
  

•  Railway Rules (presently GLOBAL ENQUIRY package).

These informations are made available to the user through Display Boards, Interactive Voice Response System, Public Address System, Face to Face Enquiry, CCTV and it is proposed to make it available on the internet in the next phase. The beta version of NTES inquiries on internet is available. The above information is collected from stations, control offices and other database administrators. The project started as a pilot project and was implemented in Aug. 1998. In the phase II, the software has networked all 5 servers running the NTES application. It now runs on Alpha server machine and under UNIX using Sybase as the RDBMS.  NTES phase II is successfully running at all five PRS sites.
