MUMBAI In a bid to increase passenger safety and avoid local train accidents, collisions and derailments caused due to human errors, the Western Railway has started installing audio systems to warn the motorman about red signals during local train operations.
Next Signal Red Alert Device (NSRAD) LED devices are being installed inside the motorman coach of local trains in order to indicate the next railway signal is red. This means that a local or outstation train should be on a complete halt.
The devices are interfaced with the Automatic Warning System (AWS) presently in place and when a train approaches a yellow signal, the red indication on NSRAD devices goes off and start alerting that “Next signal is red be careful.” in English and Hindi.
