KAVACH

The KAVACH is an indigenously developed ATP system by Research Design and Standards Organisation (RDSO) in collaboration with Indian industry and trials facilitated by South Central Railway.

KAVACH is meant to provide protection by preventing trains to pass the signal at Danger (Red) and avoid collision. It activates the train braking system automatically if the driver fails to control the train as per the speed restrictions. In addition, it prevents collision between two Locomotives equipped with functional KAVACH system. The probability of error is 1 in 10,000 years.

Features of KAVACH

  1. Prevention of Signal Passing at Danger (SPAD)
  2. Continuous update of Movement Authority with display of signal aspects in Driver Machine Interface (DMI) / Loco Pilot operation cum Indication Panel (LPOCIP)
  3. Automatic Braking for Prevention of Over Speeding
  4. Auto Whistling while approaching Level Crossing Gates
  5. Prevention of collision between two Locomotives equipped with functional KAVACH
