Reflections of Rajaram Bojji

Rajaram Bojji   FNAE Former MD Konkan Railway, IRSE Director, Rajaram Bojji Herndon VA USA 20170 Your Excellencies ,     SUB: High Speed Railway Projects in world including India and USA.     I became US national in 2015. But born in India , studied and served in India as a public servant, in railways for 35 years.     Sri Atal Bihari Vajpayee as PM and Dr Abdul Kalam as Principal Scientific Advisor listened to me as Managing Director of Konkan Railway and inventor [ result of my research in private time] and after due diligence sanctioned construction and testing of Skybus Metro rail. The principal advantages are No urban land requirement..uses the same right of way as roads. No points and crossings or big stations needing land. Totally protected against derailments causing toppling of coaches or death of passengers— a breakthrough in railway technology in 200 years. The same time tested proven railw...

MIT innovation award for Sri Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay ia should be commended. Nothing comes easy in life. To think differently is divine gift. Some engineers seem to think of possibility of plagiarism in the work awarded in MIT. They quote Skybus and my work. But first one should know properly the story of Skybus. Then coming to the Skybus, I must frankly admit it was no innovation. In service felt anguished from the first steam loco derailment in Shahabad in 1972. Entire night as AEN stood there to restore traffic. My first month of working post. Later on witnessed loss of life and always wondered at the confidence of loco drivers driving at speeds touching 100 even on the steam locos at that time. Hardly 25 mm flange and trust in gangmen. Wanted to have the same railway but safer , one which can never derail nor coaches escape haywire or roll down slopes. Simple reconfiguration of the same proven railway bogie and coach, preventing the bogie from escaping tracks under...

B Rajaram to present paper on Gravity Power Towers at 13th APM-ATS in Paris January 05, 2011 05:41 PM | Moneylife Digital Team http://www.moneylife.in/article/78/12942.html Our babus continue to ignore his inventions, while the world honours the technology man who patented an anti-collision device, made the Skybus and more recently the Gravity Power Towers Rajaram Bojji, former chairman of Konkan Railway, never got a chance to implement his revolutionary Skybus project which would have provided inexpensive, air-conditioned mass transport without land acquisition! The idea, backed by 17 patents, was abandoned by Indian authorities despite a successful demonstration in Goa. But Mr Bojji, who is better known as B Rajaram, moved on to new research and has kicked off the new year with a bang. Automated People Movers and Transit Systems (APM-ATS) has accepted Mr Bojji's work on Gravity Power Towers (GPT) as a peer-reviewed paper to be presented at its 13th International Conferen...
