Nashik: Central Railway (CR) has completed the Kavach 4.0 safety assessment for up to 340km of tracks in Pune, Solapur and Nagpur divisions of the zone. Kavach 4.0 is an advanced, indigenously developed automatic train protection system to enhance railway safety and operational reliability. Designed to meet Safety Integrity Level 4 standards, it serves as a train collision avoidance system. The 133km Ahilyanagar-Yeola section spans across 12 railway stations, equipped with necessary infrastructure that helps communication between the train and the system, monitors the speed, train direction and route traffic.
“We recently completed the assessment on a 134km route between Ahilyanagar and the Yeola section of Pune Division, according to a senior CR officer. This inspection brings the total completed Kavach assessment on CR to 337km in Nagpur, Solapur and Pune divisions of the zone. The system prevents signal passing at danger, controls train overspeeding and applies automatic braking interventions to lower collision risks and improve overall operational reliability across the railway network. Similarly, the 104km route on the Amla-Chhindwara section in Nagpur division and the 99km route on the Daund-Kurduwadi section in Solapur division have been completed.
