Hyderabad-based LED display company MIC Electronics Ltd has received Research and Design Standards Organisation (RDSO) approval from Indian railways for its ‘true colour video-cum-train information display system', both indoor and outdoor.
This system takes imaging data from satellite imaging for rail navigation (SIMRAN) and displays station-specific train information in three languages — English, Hindi and the local language of the station.
MIC has already installed this unmanned system with SIMRAN synchronisation at the Patna railway station. The system when fully operational will take away the long queues of passengers from the manned enquiry counters and enhance passenger convenience.
The Indian railways plans to install 100 such boards at category A and B stations across the country.
