On Friday, the Agra railway division successfully tested an automatic braking system installed in a Vande Bharat train. It is part of the indigenously developed anti-collision device ‘Kavach’.
“In the first-ever trial, the loco pilot did not apply the brakes and still, the train, running at a speed of 160 kmph, automatically stopped 10 metres before the red signal,” said Agra Railway Division PRO Prashasti Srivastava, reported PTI.
As per reports, in the country, all Vande Bharat trains are fitted with a ‘Kavach’ system. The system can apply brakes on its own in case the loco pilot fails to do it due to any reason.
