Yes, you might have heard about this recently after the train incident in India. This is not a new technology, but it’s still new to Indian railways. This has been an innovation of one of the Indian scientist, ten years ago. But it has not been implemented widely .The number of rail accidents has been on rise for the past two years, so this will be a great idea.
The Indian railways have planned already of installing these devices since 2007, and it’s been done only in Mumbai metro railways. This has shown good results of decreasing number of accidents. This device is an electronic component, and easily made. The installation of this device is a tough job and takes a long time, as this has to be enabled through GPS.
The demand of these devices is high to Indian railways, as this could be the only option of providing safety. The results of these are proven to be good after a number of tests. There are lot of advantages compared to other technologies, and are also proven to be very economical. The Indian railway board has faced challenges through politicians that these devices are not reliable and there is lot of questions about maintaining these devices even after lot of satisfactory results.
According to public opinion, when it comes to making a choice between saving human lives and the cost, the obvious choice should be to save lives!
There is no matter of expenditure by the government on unwanted things.
If the experts are unable to make a choice by a consensus then the PM should step in and solve...after all he is the CEO...
