Advantages of TPWS System
Assists Railway Operators to meet their safety and modernisation goals by
– Providing a safety protection mechanism against reduced headway of the trains for increasing line capacity – Eliminating human errors leading to : • Signals passed at danger • Overspeeding
The advantages are – Enhanced Safety beyond the capability of legacy ATP – Significant capacity improvement with reduced headway – Assures higher level of safety even at higher operational speed – Providing a widely accepted standard – Accommodating multiple vendors and interoperability – Providing a robust platform for technology upgradation in future – Permitting customisation to meet Indian Railway’s needs – Facilitates normal operation of train in dense foggy condition where visibility is near zero
