Introduction


Transport infrastructure is one of the most important factors for a country's progress. To keep this faster pace, for moving people, urban rail projects are playing a crucial role not only as a transportation solution but as a means to transform cities. 52.8% of India's population would be living in cities and towns by mid-century compared to 32.8% in 2015, i.e. more than 750 million inhabitants.

We live in a world where our surrounding landscapes are rapidly changing. Cities are changing, new towns bubble up, and so are economic priorities and policies of the society. Mobility emerged as a critical priority in the last century, but now in our times, the need for transportation has reached a climacteric phase, where its ends and meets are put to question. Without reliable mobility, cities become fragmented, people get struck in their lives, and economies take a beating, while the existing mobility systems themselves bray without sustainability.

Introduction 


Most transport operators in India are installing systems like vehicle tracking and fare collection machines. With these technologies operators generate large amounts of data related to their services, like driver hours, bus kms, ridership, etc. In many cases this data is not used to improve decision making. In this training program, we help operators and authorities to use this data to improve their profit, performance and customer satisfaction.
