It marks a significant advancement towards the Indian Railways' dream of establishing a semi-high-speed rail network.
The Railway Ministry has achieved another milestone with the successful recent trial of braking parameters of the 'Kavach' anti-train collision system at a speed of 160 kilometer per hour.
The trial was conducted by the North Central Railway's Agra Division and it has yielded promising results for the Kavach.
Indian Railways is in the process of implementing the Kavach across its network to enhance operational safety.
The Agra Division has developed a complete Kavach network on the 80-km stretch between Mathura and Palwal near Faridabad. It involves the placement of RFID tags on railway tracks in station areas and other places, installation of stationary Kavach units at several places such as stations, and installation of towers and antennas along the tracks.
The new braking system helps loco pilots avoid overspeeding, signal passing and improves safety and also efficiency during adverse weather conditions.
However, Similar safety systems are followed in other countries as well.
