SCoR Vijayawada division launches ‘Punctuality BZA’ to monitor punctuality of trains

Officials of South Coast Railway (SCoR), Vijayawada Division have launched ‘Puntuality BZA’, the first-ever Android-based mobile application designed to track punctuality of trains.

BZA Punctuality integrates all critical operational information into a single, user-friendly dashboard that provides section-by-section train status, Late Train Tracking (LTM), Punctuality Assessment Module (PAM), automatic alerts when a train is more than 15 minutes late and other information.

Mobile application in Indian Railways improves situational awareness, facilitates faster decision making and enables quick action to improve train punctuality, said Vijayawada Divisional Railway Manager (DRM) Mohit Sonakiya.

To further enhance digital train operations, BZA’s Punctuality has been seamlessly integrated with BZA’s LTM, another in-house application designed to automate train journey documentation for train managers.

“Using GPS-enabled technology, LTM BZA records arrivals, departures, speed and movement data while generating comprehensive reports. Whenever there is a delay, the train conductors record the reason through an app that is displayed on the ‘Punctuality BZA’ dashboard, enabling dispatchers to analyze delays in real time,” DRM said.

Mr. Sonakiya said the new app will reduce manual documentation, increase passenger safety and operational readiness.
