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.
