The Railways propose to install Train Protection Warning System (TPWS) in all the trains bound for Agra. The system is being provided on selected important trains. The system, which prevents drivers passing signal at danger is being provided on 35 locomotives in New Delhi-Agra section. The system will prevent collisions and derailments due to signal passed at danger by the drivers. The system is likely to be commissioned by June, 2006.
Railways propose to extend the scheme in other routes also. TPWS is also being provided on suburban section of Southern Railway between Chennai Beach/Chennai Central and Gummidipundi. The system is likely to be commissioned by June, 2006. Presently, only two sections as mentioned above are being executed with the work of TPWS.
