All new coaches that are being manufactured are the safer LHB coaches with German design,” the official said.

The TPWS also reduces the delay of train during foggy weather, which is a proven European train protection technology and deployed extensively on world railways. A railway official said, “If a train jumped the signal, approached the signal too fast, or approached the buffer stops too fast, the TPWS would put the breaks and bring the train to a standstill.” This system will also prevent accident that takes place due to loco pilot’s error in passing on the signals.

It had successfully piloted the system in the Dum Dum Kavi Subhash section of the Kolkata Metro rail, Chennai-Gummidipundi suburban section and Hazrat Nizamuddin-Agra and Basin Bridge-Arrakonam sections.
