Anti-collision devices on BG network by 2014

NEW DELHI: The Railways has decided to install about 57,000 anti-collision devices (ACDs) over the entire broad gauge network by 2013-14.

The process of equipping trains with the anti-collision device has been going on and during the past three years about 2,300 ACDs have been installed.

Installation of ACDs on the Katihar-New Jalpaiguri-Guwahati-Tinsukia-Dibrugarh-Ledo section of the Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) has been completed, while the survey for expanding the system to another 10,000 route kilometres in the critical and busy sections of the network is almost complete, said an official statement issued here on Monday. ACDs are being supplied by the Konkan Railway Corporation Limited (KRCL) in association with Kernex Microsystems (India) Ltd.
