Ravindra Gupta, General Manager, South Central Railway (SCR) inspected the field trials of Train Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) system on Lingampalli-Vikarabad section of Secunderabad Division on Monday. The TCAS is an indigenously developed system of Research Designs & Standards Organisation (RDSO), Lucknow and SCR.
TCAS provides real-time display of signaling information inside Locomotive cab to provide aid to drivers and to enable them to run the trains at higher speeds. It also enhances safety by taking care of any misjudgment by train drivers in applying the brakes and prevents Signal Passing at Danger by automatic application of brakes. This would also be helpful in foggy weather.
The General Manager extensively reviewed the implementation of TCAS and inspected the functioning of the system on run. He wanted that the field trials be completed at the earliest by addressing the teething problems of the system during use. TCAS has been introduced on 250 km stretch of Lingampalli – Vikarabad – Wadi Section and on Vikarabad – Bidar section of SCR for extensive field trials.
MS Mahaboob Ali, Chief Signal and Telecommunications Engineer; Solan Gupta, Chief Electrical Engineer; N Madhusudan Rao, Chief Operations Manager; Ashesh Agarwal, Divisional Railway Manager, Secunderabad Division, South Central Railway, L K Mansukhani (Project Director) and other senior officers were present.
