Kavach train protection system: An accident is something that happens accidentally. Accidents can sometimes occur due to negligence, human error, or faulty technology. However, railway accidents are not predictable. The Railway Department is unable to say that this is the cause of any train accident in the last ten years. In case of any accident, rushing, helping the families of the dead and injured, setting up committees for investigations is sufficient. Measures are not being taken to prevent train accidents in the long term.
Careless driving, over speeding
Many reports say that 70 percent of train accidents are due to derailment. It is unclear what actually caused the derailment of the bogies. Train accidents are also happening due to cracks in the tracks and unrepaired tracks. Accidents are taking place due to the lack of proper maintenance of the tracks and the problem of repairs. Another major cause of train derailment is negligent driving and over speeding. That is why 110 to 130 km. There are recommendations to upgrade the tracks of high-speed trains every three months and to do track recording as well.
Kavach and electronic interlocking system have been brought to prevent train accidents. This electronic interlocking system is an electronic interlocking system that prevents two trains from entering the same track at the same time. The track is completely empty. The train stops without giving the green signal until it can move. If there is any obstacle then the signal will be in red color. And Kavach.. Automated Train Safety System. It observes the train speed. Alerts the train operators if there is a risk of an accident. Kavach works to automatically brake the trains if the driver does not react immediately. It has the ability to stop collisions from behind. Kavach, electronic interlocking system is used by Indian Railways according to the latest technology. However, the accidents do not stop.
It seems that the Railway Department has taken another important decision. A black box is expected to be installed in a rail engine. Officials say that the black box used in the plane will be upgraded and fixed in the trains.. This will be done without any accident.. In case of an accident, the words of the loco pilots, video and audio of the train activity will be recorded in the black box. They are also planning to install CC cameras. Two of these cameras focus the movements of the train loco pilots, while the other one is located outside the engine and faces the track and focuses the track. It seems that the fourth camera will be installed on the top of the engine.

Kavach, electronic interlocking system is not fully functional. Despite the success rate to some extent, it is still difficult to control the risks. That’s why the railway department is ready for black box launch soon. Along with that, the signal system still needs to be upgraded. The Railway Department is fixed to take steps to ensure that all the departments work on alert to correct human errors as well. In view of the severe criticism from the opposition, the Railway Department is ready for armed measures for the safety of the passengers.
