How does it work?
With the help of tracking devices installed within rakes, they have developed an in-house algorithm to get the real-time location of local trains. It gathers all required information about the current location of a specific train and the same is displayed in-app, which is auto refreshed every 30 seconds. Users can also click on the refresh button to manually update the same, said a member of technical team of Yatri App.
Earlier, on March 6, during the annual inspection of Mumbai Division, Central Railway’s General Manager, Anil Kumar Lahoti had visited the Yatri app booth.
The technical team of Yatri app present at the booth had given him a demonstration of the real-time tracking of the live locations of local trains. Apart from the real time monitoring capability of the app, the team had also demonstrated several other features of the Yatri app.
