The Indian Railway is planning to develop a highly advanced, foolproof protection and warning system for drivers.
Indian Railway is planning to implement Signalling based Train Protection Warning System (TPWS) and Global Positioning System (GPS) based Anti-Collision Device (ACD) to prevent the possibility of train collision due to driver’s error and station staff error. TPWS has already installed in Delhi-Agra and Chennai-Gummidipundi sections over Northern, North Central and Southern Railways. ACD is being tried out in Katihar-New Jalpaiguri-Guwahati-Tinsukhia-Dibrugarh section on Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR).
