Mumbai: Under the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train project of the Government of India, the trains running 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 the 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 constantly working towards improving rail facilities. In this sequence, Indian Railways is updating new systems in the new bullet train project like earthquake sensors, rainfall monitoring system and safety of the train during strong winds.
Earthquake Sensors
The technology of Japanese Shinkansen bullet trains is being used in the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train project. A total of 28 seismic 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 also automatically apply emergency brakes when the train passes through earthquake-affected areas.
Rain monitoring
New technology is being used to protect bullet trains from heavy rain. This will help in knowing the weather of the area where the train will run and bullet trains will not have to face bad weather and heavy rain. Many times trains get delayed due to heavy rain. Keeping all these things in mind, the 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. So that the trains are not affected by strong winds, the storms can be detected in advance. For this, the railways will install anemometers at 14 places along the viaduct to detect the speed of the winds, which will give data of winds blowing between 0 to 252 kilometers per hour, so that if the wind speed reaches between 72 kilometers per hour to 130 kilometers per hour, then the speed of the train will be reduced.
