1. Introduction
Indian Railways with a network of approximate 62,000

+ith the advan!ement of !omputer and

whi!h is more !ompa!t and easy to adopt fre)uent
!han"es' .arious railways are slowly adoptin" different
types of ,le!troni! Interlo!kin" -ystems --I# all over
the world' Indian railways also have installed ,le!troni!
