On October 16, India successfully tested a new technology to help avoid train collisions. This is a turning point that can significantly reduce the number of train accidents in the country.

The technology, known as the T-CAS, was tested on a rail line between Navandgi and Mantatti stations in Ranga Reddy district, southern Andhara Pradesh. .

Railroad technology officials say the technology is based on the combination of radio frequency technology, GPS, and application brakes, which allow a train to detect a moving train. Parked on the same track and stopped at the right time without the driver's intervention.

X-TEU said that during the October 16 test run, two trains with several T-CAS cars were launched on the same rails in opposite directions at a speed of 60 km / h. Both brakes stopped and stopped at about 200m apart.

According to The Hindu, not only does it help avoid collisions due to fault of the signaler or the driver does not see the beacon by heavy rain or fog, T-CAS also has the ability to alarm when a fire on the ship as well as the scene. Damage caused by natural disasters or damage.

Train accidents happen frequently in India, killing hundreds of people every year.
