As Indian Railways continues to deploy Electronic Interlocking based application and modernize vital train control installations. It becomes all the more critical that how maintenance function and software updates are undertaken, how the different software versions are maintained by Indian Railway's signalling dept. It is imperative that RDSO, Zonal Railways and Railway Board take the subject of configuration management system seriously.
1. Has Indian Railways considered putting in place proper software versioning or configuration management system which keeps track of different versions of signalling vendors.
2. Does RDSO or Railway Board Signalling Directorate officials know which sites are upgraded with the latest software of electronic application and what reports are available.
3. Is there a proper methodology or process being followed when software updates happen at the sites and in different zonal railways.
4. What validations are in place when software updates are deployed.
The issue is neither RDSO nor CSTE of any Zonal Railways are making sincere efforts to keep track of various versions of vital electronics and electronic inter lockings.
