Indian Railways is preparing to install a high-tech Machine Vision Inspection System (MVIS) in the Faridabad section of the Delhi-Mumbai rail route. This AI-powered system will monitor the wheels and components of moving trains in real-time to prevent accidents. The project will be implemented as a pilot between Nizamuddin and Palwal.

What is MVIS and how will it work
MVIS is an AI and Machine Learning based technology that uses special cameras and sensors installed along the tracks. It records high-resolution photos and videos of wheels, axles, and brake systems of trains passing at high speeds. If any part is found to be loose, broken, or missing, the system sends an immediate alert to the Delhi control room for quick action.
Key details of the MVIS implementation
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Responsible Agency | DFCCIL (Procurement and Installation) |
| Technology Partners | IISc and L2MRail startup |
| Primary Route | Delhi-Mumbai (Faridabad Section) |
| Operational Speed | 120 to 150 km per hour |
| Daily Traffic | Over 300 trains |
Why is this system important for passengers
The Delhi-Mumbai route is one of the busiest corridors in India. Manual inspection of every train is difficult and time-consuming. This automated system reduces the need for manual checks and identifies faults instantly, which helps in avoiding potential accidents and service delays. Rail Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw stated that this is a decisive step toward automated maintenance.
