Mumbai Suburban Rail Improves Security with Upgraded Signal System
Mumbai’s Central Railway has applied an upgraded Signal Location News System (SILAS) throughout its local train network. The GPS-based technology aims to boost operational safety and security and minimize motormen stress and anxiety.
- Function: SILAS works as an “electronic co-pilot,” audibly introducing approaching signal placements.
- Informs: Provides signals 350 m and 250 m prior to signals.
- SPAD Reduction: Go for “No SPAD” (Signal Passing Away at Danger) occurrences.
- Added Attributes: Makes it possible for real-time train monitoring, speed tracking, and driving actions analysis.
- Future Growth: SILAS will introduce upcoming station halts.
