Indian Railways is the fourth largest rail network in the world. Every day lakhs of passengers travel by Indian Railways. Due to the busy rail network in India, there is a possibility of accidents many times. But to prevent rail accidents, soon the railways will also use anti-collision device. Today we will tell you what is anti-collision device system and how it works.
Anti Collagen Device
Now the question is how does the anti-collision device work? Let us tell you that through this system, the signaling system on the railway tracks and the engines of the trains are installed with radio frequency equipment. The alert system of the anti-collision device works to detect the obstacles present on the tracks. Through this system, the railway checks the coordination between the radio frequency system of the track and the train engine. As soon as any obstacle comes on the train track, the alert system sends a signal. With this system, the loco pilot gets information about the obstacles present on the track even at night and in dense fog, so that the loco pilot can reduce the speed of the train.
According to the information, this device has been used on 1098 line kilometers and 65 engines of South Central Railway. It is to be implemented on parts of Delhi-Mumbai and Delhi-Howrah circuit. According to Indian Railways, by 2028, anti-collision device will be fully implemented on all the railway tracks of the country. It is believed that after the complete implementation of this technology in the Indian Railway network, rail accidents will be negligible. However, it will take a few more years for this technology to reach all divisions and trains."text-align: justify;">How does this device work?
With the help of this technology, when there is any problem on the track or a train is seen in front, the loco pilot immediately sees a danger message. In such a situation, if the loco operator fails to reduce the speed of the train or stop it, then ‘Kavach’ automatically applies brakes and reduces the speed and stops it. This technology works continuously using high frequency radio contact. According to the information, the government is estimated to spend about 30-50 lakh rupees per kilometer on this technology."text-align: justify;">Read also: The price of one kg of this mango is equal to that of a bullet bike, yet its demand is huge
