A Survey on Digitization of Shed Management for Indian Railways Author α σ ρ : Student, Department of Electronics and Telecommuni- cations, SCTR’s Pune Institute of Computer Technology Pune, India. e-mail :gyanprakashnarayan01@gmail.com Author Ѡ: Assistant Professor, Department of Electronics and managers the power to properly allocate resources, monitor locomotive positions, and streamline repair operations. [40] Modern shed management systems also include role-based access control methods to make sure that various authorities have access to the information and activities of the shed at the proper levels. [40] This survey report starts an investigation of the current state of locomotive shed management. It goes into the many facets of shed administration, covering everything from workflow optimization to role-based access control and locomotive location tracking and monitoring. This survey seeks to provide a complete overview of the cutting-edge shed management systems and their impact on the railway sector by a thorough analysis of pertinent literature, research papers, and best practices. The paper's organization aims to provide insights into the shed management components, such as real-time location tracking, assigning locomotives to maintenance departments, access control, data integration, and security issues. We want to pinpoint trends, obstacles, and possibilities in the area of locomotive shed management by reviewing the body of research and case studies. This report also acknowledges the crucial part shed management plays in improving operational performance, cost-effectiveness, and customer satis- faction in railway operations. We will highlight significant findings, new technologies, and future directions as we read through the literature since they have the potential to influence how shed management systems develop in the future. In conclusion, this survey article offers shed managers, railway authorities, and scholars’ useful insights into shed management for locomotive sheds. It aims to provide a deeper comprehension of shed management concepts, best practices, and the industry-changing effects of technology. II.

Abstract- This survey paper traverses the field of website- based solutions from the outlook of enhancing the work efficiency of any organization or institution, particularly establishment with less technically skilled workforce. The paper provides a comprehensive overview on web development in a great way spanning from the state of the field, current trends, important technologies and evaluating data across the sub domains of the paramount technological footprints. Discussion on hurdles faced by developers in creating solutions using optimal tech pool. We have provided context and motivation for future developers by compiling summaries for various research work that has been documented in formal of articles, journals, conference papers, etc. Both the aspects of frontend and backend are being taken into consideration as well as their integration for the build out of a working real-world project. We have also discussed the key bottleneck areas that may become hinderance for the beginners in this field, while also assisting the experts on points further research and exploration.

I ntroduction he effective administration of locomotive sheds is essential to the successful operation of railway systems. In order to maintain the operating preparedness and safety of locomotives, locomotive sheds are essential centers for their maintenance, repair, and upkeep. Locomotives are subjected to strict schedules, strenuous maintenance procedures, and a wide range of repairs because they constitute the foundation of railway operations. [20] The timely and efficient administration of these locomotive sheds is crucial for maximizing resource allocation, reducing operating downtime, and ensuring service reliability. The field of shed management has undergone a transformation in recent years due to the introduction of digital technologies and data-driven solutions. Modern shed management systems that make use of real-time tracking, sophisticated analytics, and automation are progressively replacing conventional manual operations. These systems give railway administrators and shed managers the power to properly allocate resources, T Aditya Muley α , Aryan Umale σ , Gyanprakash Narayan ρ & Rajendra Yelalwar Ѡ
