In a major step towards ensuring enhanced passenger safety and minimizing railway accidents, the Indian Railways is rolling out ‘KAVACH’, an Indigenous automatic train protection system, across the Nagpur Division. The system has been successfully tested on several routes and will soon cover 991.42 Rkm (Route Kilometer) of tracks in the Nagpur Division, ensuring that trains operate with the highest level of safety.
‘KAVACH’ is designed to prevent train collisions, automating braking and alert systems to minimize the chances of human error, which is often a leading cause of railway accidents. The system uses cutting-edge technology to detect potential hazards, bringing trains to a safe halt if necessary. The focus is on reducing fatalities, preventing damage to trains and infrastructure, and ensuring a smoother and safer journey for passengers.
This indigenous technology is a proud achievement for Indian Railways, showcasing the country’s commitment to innovation, self-reliance, and passenger safety. With KAVACH, India takes a significant step toward reducing its dependence on foreign solutions and setting new global standards for railway safety.
The ‘KAVACH’ system will soon be implemented across all routes in the Nagpur Division, offering an unprecedented level of security for both passengers and railway operations. As Indian Railways continues to enhance its safety mechanisms, passengers can travel with confidence, knowing that their well-being is a top priority.
Key Benefits of KAVACH:
- Collision Prevention: Reduces the risk of accidents by preventing train collisions.
