This document summarizes an article about the Rake Management System (RMS) which is a subsystem of the Freight Operations Information System (FOIS) used by Indian Railways to manage freight operations. RMS tracks freight wagons and locomotives in real-time to optimize asset utilization and increase mobility. It was implemented in phases, starting with analyzing bulk asset usage data and eventually capturing individual wagon data. RMS uses a 3-tier client-server architecture with centralized databases to provide real-time freight movement and asset location information across the rail network, helping managers make better allocation decisions. While RMS provides benefits, some shortcomings remain in its interface with other systems that limits its full utility.
