Railway Signalling : How to identify that Railway track cracks/damage 100-150 kms ahead

Former Member
Former Member over 15 years ago

Hello All,

Good Evening,

 

I was very curious in studying about how the railway signalling actually processed. I got a question that ,

 

1)If the Railway track is broken / blasted / Crack , say 100-150 kms ahead, then how the Locomotive Driver will get to know about this?

Is there a wireless communication through which the locomotive driver get the information?

Are there any communication module developped already which is available in market?

 

2) Do we have any Technology to detect this and avoid accidents?

3) Do we have any equipment to do this job?

 

For Aircrafts & ships  , we have Radar and other sources of signalling on the safety needs, Likewise please provide me awhether there any equipments or technology available to indentify Railway track Cracks/ damage ,before the train crosses the point where the track is cracked/damaged , So that it can avoid railway accidents.

 

 

 

Thanks and  Regards
