Maintenance Essentials for Speeds upto 160 kmph
TRACK MONITORING
1. TRC run Once in 2 months
(Track Recording Car)
2. OMS Monthly peak values > 0.15 g to be reported
(Oscillation Monitoring Recording to be done at Max. Permissible Speed
System)
3. Oscillograph Car Run Once in 4 months at MPS
4. Track maintenance Stds. C&M I – Vol‐I Standards & IRPWM for gauge
ROLLING STOCK HEALTH MONITORING
1. Predictive Maintenance (Trending by WILD, Online Monitoring of Rolling
Stock (OMRS), Onboard Health Monitoring System (OBHMS), Camera Vision)
2. GPS based Vehicle Tracking & RFID based Auto vehicle identification
Rolling Stock certification for enhanced speed

Activity Proposed Methodology
Oscillation Trial- up to 145 Without CRS sanction, based on JSC by
kmph Railway with approval of DG
COCR at 130 kmph 1st trial of the section by RDSO &
subsequent by Railways route proving run
COCR at speed greater By RDSO with approval of DG without
than 130 kmph CRS sanction
Coupler Force & EBD Up to 100 kmph for goods and up to 130
Trials kmph for Coaching trains- Without CRS
sanction
• Provision of dedicated test track

RDSO Report No. RDSO/2007/GE:0014 , November 2009
Guidelines & Specifications for Design of formation
• Insertion of Blanket layer (Thickness as per RDSO guidelines)
• Attention to Deficient cess & slide slopes
• Replacement of clayey soil with good quality earth (CBR>5%)
• Use of reinforced earth
