IR has started rolling out Rajdhani Express with upgraded Tejas coaches, equipped with intelligent sensor-based systems. The bright golden-hued coaches, with enhanced smart features, are being introduced to run the Mumbai-New Delhi Rajdhani Express train. Two such Tejas-type sleeper coach rakes have been made ready to run as Rajdhani Express. Of these two rakes, one rake comprises exclusive Tejas smart sleeper coaches, which is the first of its kind to be introduced by IR. The new train will have special smart features for enhanced passenger safety and comfort. The smart coach aims to provide world-class facilities to passengers with the help of intelligent sensor-based systems. It is equipped with a passenger information and coach computing unit (PICCU) provided with GSM network connectivity, which reports to the remote server. The PICCU will record the data of wheel slide protection, CCTV recording, toilet odour sensors, panic switch and other items, integrated with a fire detection and alarm system, air quality and choke filter sensor and energy meter.
