You must have often seen that news of train accidents often remains in the headlines., different of the country,Recently many train accidents have been witnessed at different places, different from the country,Trains running in different directions often become victims of accidents, But accidents are less in metro, Why so, Let us know about the technical reasons that make the metro safe from accidents,
Metro And Train In What Is Difference,
First of all, let us know what is the difference between metro and train, So let us tell you that metro tracks are usually above or below the ground, while the train tracks are on the ground, Whereas the metro is constructed in a more controlled environment., while the train tracks are separate,placed in a variety of environments, Also the operation of the metro is fully automatic or semi automatic,it happens automatically, Whereas the train is operated by humans., Apart from this, the number of passengers in the metro is relatively less., Whereas the number of passengers in the train is more,

Technologies that make metro safer than train
Ballastless Track, Ballastless tracks are used in metros, Which means there are no ballast on the track. This makes the track more stable and reduces the risk of train derailment,
CBTC System, CBTC in Metro (Communication-Based Train Control) The system is used, Which controls the speed and distance of trains. This system gives trains a,prevents collision with another,
Automatic Train Protection System, If a danger is seen, Such as a red signal or an obstruction on the track, At that time the system stops the train automatically.,
state of the art Signalling System, The metro uses a state-of-the-art signalling system, which helps in running trains safely,
Control Center, The metro is operated from a control centre, From where the activities of all trains are monitored,
Apart from this, there are many reasons behind fewer accidents in the metro, advanced technology in, Includes better controls and adherence to security standards, Although any system can fail, Hence continuous efforts are required to ensure safety,
