Now, a device to avert train collisions
The Railways have developed equipment to keep the loco
driver posted with all external information, in order to avoid any
accident or collision.
Railway Board Member
(Electrical) Kul Bhushan on Monday said, under the supervision of his
department, the Research Design and Standards Organisation had innovated
the train collision avoidance system in collaboration with three
private vendors.
Based on radio frequency, the
engines can ‘talk’ to each other, relay all information within a
three-km radius to the loco driver and avert accidents. The receptors
will gather information relating to signal aspects and read the rail
track up to three km from a 30-metre-high tower located at a station and
display them on a small screen fitted in the loco engine.
Apart
from specifying the distance of any obstruction on the track , it would
tell the driver his speed and the rate of deceleration needed.
