What is the role of Command & Control Centre in safe operations of the Metro Rail systems?

The Operation Command & Control Centre serves as the main location from which all aspects of the Metro Rail systems are controlled and operational decisions made. The centre also serves as the exclusive point of coordination for all operational decisions affecting metrorail service.

Most metros require the OCC to be operational 24/7, and hence robust systems are used in the centre. One such system is large video walls or screen that help in monitoring the entire system and hosting critical decisions during service interruptions.
