DMRC unveils new OCC, entire network now to be controlled in integrated manner from HQ
DMRC on Wednesday unveiled its new integrated operation control centre (OCC), a major step towards creating necessary infrastructure for commencement of operations on Phase-IV corridors of the Delhi Metro, officials said. With this new OCC, the entire DMRC network will now be controlled in an «integrated manner» from the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation's headquarters — Metro Bhawan, they said.
This new OCC, commissioned on the third floor of Metro Bhawan, provides remote visibility, manoeuverability of the entire Metro system (rolling stock, stations, signal, tracks, etc.) with concourse and platform level monitoring, thus passengers and system both are always under monitoring from the OCC, the DMRC said in a statement.
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) is presently carrying out construction work on a 65.2-km stretch of three priority corridors spanning 45 stations as part of this project.
These three corridors are Janakpuri West-RK Ashram Marg (28.92 km), Majlis Park-Maujpur (12.55 km), both of which are extensions of the Delhi Metro's Magenta Line and Pink Line, and Aerocity-Tughlakabad (23.62 km), which is being built as Golden Line to connect the Violet Line and the Airport Line from their respective ends.
«In a major step towards creating necessary infrastructure for commencement of the operations on Phase-IV corridors of the Delhi Metro, the DMRC unveiled its new integrated Operation Control Centre (OCC) today,» it said.
