A recent trial conducted to examine the efficiency of braking parameters of anti-train collision system Kavach in a semi-high speed engine at 160 kmph showed promising results, the North Central Railway’s Agra Division said. The Kavach system, developed by Research Designs and Standards Organisation (RDSO), can apply brakes automatically in case of an emergency when a train driver fails to act in time. Railways is in the process of implementing this system across its network to enhance operational safety. Kavach not only helps loco pilots avoid signal passing and overspeeding but also helps trains run during inclement weather, ensuring enhanced safety and efficiency.
