Smart coaches are a major leap toward digital transformation in Indian Railways. These advanced coaches are embedded with sensors, IoT devices, and AI systems to monitor real-time parameters such as coach health, passenger safety, and onboard facilities. This innovation not only ensures smoother operations but also enhances passenger comfort and safety across the railway network.
Equipped with centralized data systems, smart coaches can detect issues like wheel defects, bearing temperatures, and fire or smoke incidents. Additionally, they provide updates about toilet cleanliness, water availability, and coach occupancy. These smart technologies align with Indian Railways' mission to modernize travel and improve service quality using predictive maintenance and digital intelligence.
