Can new system detect gas cylinders kept on track?
indian Railways has developed a hi-tech security system called Kavach (KAVACH) keeping in view the safety of its passengers. Now Union Railway minister Ashwini Vaishnav went to Sawai Madhopur in Kota division on tuesday to test the upgraded version 4.0 of this Kavach system. There he interacted with the loco pilots and also explained the features of the Kavach system. Well, let us now tell you whether Kavach 4.0 also detects gas cylinders kept on the railway track.
First understand what is Kavach system?
Kavach system is a type of automatic train protection mechanism, which is designed to reduce the possibility of collision between trains. The purpose of the Kavach system is that trains can run safely on their fixed routes and avoid any emergency accident. Let us now know how it works.
Features of sensors and detection
The Kavach system has several types of sensors, which monitor the situation around the track. These sensors constantly scan the things around the train. If another train, obstacle, or any other danger comes in front, this system immediately identifies it.
Understand from the Automated Braking System
When the Kavach system detects a danger, it warns the loco pilot. If the loco pilot does not respond within the stipulated time, the system automatically activates the brakes to stop the train. This reduces the possibility of collision to a great extent.
Real-time data is also included
The Kavach system has a strong communication network, which transfers real-time data between the train and the control room. The Kavach system immediately transfers the train's position, speed and other important information to the control room, so that the control room knows the current status of the trains at all times.
