The flagship train of railways – Vande Bharat Express – has proved to be resistant in Indian conditions and continues to improve the security measures, the official said after a safety study marked.
The Report of the Railway Security Commission, the Ministry of Civil Aviation, accessible Hindu, explains the security measures to take railways in terms of the operation of high -speed trains. Among other things, the report quoted the risk of serious accidents for Vande Bharat even in the case of cattle transition. The report states that Vande Bharat’s front train coach was much lighter than the locomotive (regular trains) and any obstacle or even cattle to take place, can lead to serious accidents at higher speeds.
The official who spoke to the Hindu said that Vande Bharat trains: “After now 3.5 crore kilometers, which corresponds to the coverage of the Earth’s perimeter more than 870 times, it turned out to be safe and effective.” “The front nasal cone of these trains is designed to absorb energy in case of cattle. It is made of material that disintegrates and absorbs impact energy. Exactly for this reason, cattle hits did not lead to great disasters,” the clerk said.
Security report was asked by the Ministry of Railways to ensure robust fencing to avoid human and cattle offense, which represented the threat to trains. Transitions at the level should be removed on routes where the trains were operated at 160 km / h. “Railways fence traces across the country. More than 3,500 km already fenced.
“Deploying the staff of the RPF”
Railways should identify regular places for offenses/cattle and think of a suitable mechanism, such as the deployment of the RPF protection staff, regular patrols and metro provision, which will facilitate farmers to exceed their cattle.

The security report has indicated concerns specifically with the claim that the hit of cattle at higher speeds could lead to serious accidents. The alert comes at a time when the railway plans to run trains at 160 km / h along several routes.
The report called on regular joint inspections of the RPF and other officials of the department to check and prevent offenses. The inhabitants of land adjacent to railway assets should be sensitized to the risk of crossing the track.
When increasing the speed of trains from 130 to 160 km / h, several new permanent speed limitations were introduced in sections with sharp curves. The presence of a large number of such permanent or temporary speed limitations would be maintained by locomotic pilots under constant stress.
The railways should develop sincere efforts to reduce the number of constant speed limitations by loosening curves, increasing the lengths of the transition and simplifying the layout of the backyards, the report said.
“Shaked to safely absorb hits of cows”
SHUBHRANSHU, the former main main mechanical engineer of ICF, said that the front nasal cone of these trains was designed to go crazy and absorb part of the impact energy. In addition, the cut on the front was forced to recruit and divert an obstacle.
He said the front train coaches Vande Bharat were well in the average weight of the coaches. “It is lightweight compared to the locomotive. But there are train sets. There is no locomotive on the front and the power force is distributed along the train. Even Emus, Indian railway memus and all train sets have similar arrangements.
Mr. Shaubhranshu led the team-ICF, who made the first player Train18 in a record 18 months in October 2018. The Earl was named Vande Bharat Express and described between Delhi and Varanasi Prime Minister Narendra Modi in February 2019.
