Characteristics of any train configuration can be studied using a combination of locomotives (Diesel-Electric/Electric) and rolling stock (Passenger/Freight) with ease in almost no time. The software employs a variety of data representation modes, such as data-grid and graphical visualization to improve the insights of post-processed data. The software architecture was designed to systematically segregate pre-processor, processor, and post-processor using new programming techniques such as Object-oriented programming. The software's ease of use and visual graphics representation of output make it useful for analyzing frequently occurring planning issues such as the impact of temporary changes in speed restrictions, halts, train configuration, and so on. These parameters help the railway personnel in deciding how many of locomotives, stock, etc. Runtrain# was developed to analyze a wide range of train running parameters (TRP) such as running time, fuel consumption, coupler force, and so on.

The other team members include Bhanu Vardhan Chennoju, Shashwat Jain, Vishnu Sukumar, and Rajeevlochana G Chittawadigi. The simulation software Runtrain# has been developed under the guidance of Prof Subir Kumar Saha, Principal Investigator, and Prof Satinder Paul Singh, Mechanical Engineering Department, IIT Delhi.
#Indian railway announcement software update
Runtrain# simulation software is an update of ‘Runtrain’ software being used by the Indian Railways since 1990s. New Delhi: Researchers from IIT Delhi and Research Designs and Standards Organisation (RDSO), a unit of Ministry of Railways, have collaborated and developed a train simulation software named ‘Runtrain#’ that outputs results, which can be incorporated into timetabling methods.
