Under the Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train Project of the Government of India, the running trains are being prepared in a special way. Many safety features will be provided in the bullet trains running between Mumbai and Ahmedabad. Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav himself gave information about this by posting on social media platform X. In this bullet train project, special attention is being paid to the safety of passengers. The bullet trains being built under the project are being designed in a special way to protect them from earthquakes, storms and heavy rains.
The Government of India is continuously working towards improving railway facilities. In this sequence, Indian Railways is updating new systems in the new bullet train project regarding earthquake sensors, rainfall monitoring system and safety of the train during strong winds.
earthquake sensor
The technology of Japanese Shinkansen bullet trains is being used in the Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train Project. A total of 28 seismometer sensors will be installed between Mumbai and Gujarat, out of which 22 will be installed in Maharashtra and 8 in Gujarat. These sensors will monitor earthquake waves and will automatically apply emergency brakes when the train reaches earthquake-affected areas.
rain monitoring
New technology is being used to protect bullet trains from heavy rain. The area in which the train will run. It will be easily known about the weather there and bullet trains will not have to face bad weather and heavy rains. Many times trains get delayed due to heavy rains. Keeping all these things in mind, Railways will install a new system to monitor rain in bullet trains.
detecting high speed winds
Bullet trains running between Mumbai-Ahmedabad will pass through many coastal areas. Therefore, to ensure that trains are not affected by strong winds, storms should be known in advance. For this, Railways will install anemometers at 14 places along the viaduct to detect the speed of winds, which will give data of winds blowing between 0 to 252 kilometers per hour, so that if the wind speed is 72 kilometers per hour to 130 kilometers per hour. If it reaches between kilometers per hour, the speed of the train will be reduced.
