THE ELECTRIC TRAIN CONTROL SYSTEM

THE ELECTRIC TRAIN CONTROL SYSTEM

Abstract

   Today railways network has almost reached to every nook & corner of our country. That’s the foremost reason why safety should be the topmost priority. Can you believe that trains are driven “trusting God more than anything else!” It has been so for more than 150 years ever since the system came into existence in the country.
    It is really painful to see loss of life, damage to railways property, financial loss incurred due to dislocation of traffic and for payment to traveling public in care of death or injury. Train accidents that are technologically challenge are basically due to following reasons:-
1)    Trains colliding with each other in the circumstances that occurred in the recent part nearly, “Gaisal” (head of collision) tragedies.
2)    Parting of a train causing loss of precious roman life due to real end collision of the parted portion with the train in rare.
That’s why to us it appears the introduction of ANTICOUISION DEVICE seems to be the only solution. The driver has ton drive blindly with nothing except the optical signals of red and green light to depend upon. The driver has to drive, strusting that those involved in maintenance off track and signals have done their job property. For the first time a new gauged ANTICOUISION DEVICE has been designed essentially as an aid to the driver to prevent high speed need on and rear end  collision. The transmission of the information and commands generated by the ACD own commands and control unit and those received from the others, helps in the deciding whether there is a dangerous situation warranting the stoppage of the train or allow normal movement.
The ACD has the facility to apply automatic breaks in the train, in the event of something unusual being detected on the track, without even any references to the driver. ACD exchange data & commands with each other when they are within their ‘radio range’ of influences & accept specific manual input, in ‘emergencies’. Based on the ‘relevant’ train working rules programmed inside the ACD’s take decisions automatically.
