The exercise to install the automatic train protection system 'Kavach' in the Bandamunda and Rourkela station area under Chakradharpur Railway Division and in the Howrah Mumbai main railway route of South Eastern Railway has started.
This system is the indigenous and state-of-the-art Automatic Train Protection System 'Kavach' 4.0 of Indian Railways, which will play an important role in preventing rail accidents.
The construction of communication towers under the 'Kavach' system at K Cabin, R Cabin and A Cabin of Bandamunda station under Chakradharpur Railway Division of Howrah-Mumbai main railway line and at both the ending points of Rourkela station is now in its final stage.
A GPS based radio network is being created from these towers, through which instructions can be given to the train in real time and in any emergency, the train can be saved from a major accident by applying brakes.
Along with this, signaling devices, safety systems, sensors and track equipment are also being installed for the 'Kavach' system.
