FEATURES OF KAVACH
- Automatic braking: The system automatically applies the brakes if the locomotive approaches a signal at danger or exceeds the permitted speed.
- In-cab signalling: The system displays the current signal indication in the locomotive cab, which helps the driver to avoid SPADs.
- Speed restriction: The system can be configured to restrict the speed of the train to a specified value. This can be used to prevent overspeeding in areas where there is a risk of collisions.
- Train integrity monitoring: The system can monitor the integrity of the train, such as the presence of all the coaches and the condition of the brakes. This can help to prevent derailments and other accidents.
