Kavach 4.0 Makes Delhi-Howrah Route Safer; Sleep Soundly on Your Journey!
•Indian Railways implements Kavach 4.0, an indigenous Automatic Train Protection system, on the Howrah-Barddhaman-Chhota Ambana section of the Delhi-Howrah route.
•The 260 km section, covering 47 stations and 13 level crossings, now ensures enhanced safety for millions of passengers.
•Kavach prevents head-on/rear-end collisions, controls train speed, sends alerts, and automatically applies brakes if needed.
•The project involved 7,897 RFID tags, 60 UHF antenna towers, 520 km optical fiber, and 118 equipped locomotives.
•Developed by RDSO, Kavach aims for Indian Railways' 'Zero Accidents' goal with a minimal 1-in-10,000-year accident chance.
