Indian Railways’ Kavach system triumphs in trial, showcases braking prowess at 160 kmph

A recent trial conducted by the North Central Railway’s Agra Division showcased promising results in evaluating the braking parameters of the anti-train collision system, Kavach, in a semi-high-speed engine at 160 kmph. Developed by the Research Designs and Standards Organisation (RDSO), the Kavach system is designed to automatically apply brakes in emergencies when a train driver fails to respond promptly. The Indian Railways is actively working to implement this safety system across its network to enhance operational safety.
