Indian Railways Set To Install Kavach 4.0 To Enhance Safety

GUWAHATI: The Indian Railways is gearing up to configure Kavach 4.0 - an advanced automatic train protection system - across its key routes.

Kavach 4.0 is a technology-driven solution developed by the Indian Railways to prevent accidents and ensure the smooth operation of trains by providing an additional layer of safety and control.

The upgraded version of the Kavach, commonly referred to as Kavach 4.0, will be installed in all the locomotives which are currently operating the lower version of the Kavach.

This updated version will be implemented by the Northeast Frontier Railway from Malda Town in West Bengal to Assam's Dibrugarh, spanning a length of approximately 1966 RKM.

This step by the Indian Railways across its key routes is a broader initiative to modernize its infrastructure and enhance safety standards.

By leveraging cutting-edge technology such as Kavach 4.0, the connectivity system will ensure smoother operations, minimizing human error and most importantly preventing accidents.

The Kavach 4.0 system is built upon several critical technological components, including Station Kavach, which receives information from Loco Kavach and signalling systems to guide the locomotive and RFID tags, which are installed along the tracks at regular intervals and signal point to monitor the train’s location and direction.

It is worth mentioning that Indian Railways has been taking significant measures of late to prevent train accidents. The rolling out of Kavach 4.0 shows the Indian Railway's commitment of making rail travel safer for passengers.

This move is part of a larger plan to strengthen the railway network and boost safety measures across the length and breadth of the country.
