What is the Kavach system and how does it work?
Kavach is an Automatic Train Protection (ATP) system developed by the Research Design and Standards Organisation (RDSO). It provides real-time information to loco pilots about signals and speed limits. If a driver fails to respond to a red signal or exceeds the speed limit, the system automatically applies emergency brakes to stop the train without human intervention.
Key details of Kavach implementation in ECR
The Ministry of Railways has approved a project worth тВ╣1822 crore to install Kavach across crucial routes of the East Central Railway. This includes the DDU-Patna-Jhajha main line.
