The Central Railway has commenced the use of the fog safety device for the safety of train operations during the winter season which has brought with it an intense fog spell. The device will help loco pilots when the signal visibility is poor, The Indian Express reported. This will allow for safer functioning by reducing risks associated with low visibility conditions.
How does the fog safety device work?
The device has diligently mapped all signals and level-crossing gates along diverse crew routes based on GPS locations, ensuring thorough coverage. To heighten awareness, the device announces signal names 500 meters prior to their actual location, prompting locomotive pilots to exercise increased vigilance and be better prepared to operate their trains safely.
The use of these devices allows for trains to travel at a maximum speed of 75 kmph which otherwise would range from 30-60 kmph during low visibility caused by fog. The increased speed helps minimise train detention periods and enhance timely arrivals and departures.
As of now, the Mumbai Division has acquired 10 fog safety devices, with plans to procure additional units in order to enhance safety protocols and operational efficiency throughout the railway network, as announced by the CR on Sunday.
