 ABSTRACT

The Anti Collision Device (ACD) Network is a Train Collision prevention system
patented by Konkan Railway Corporation Limited. ACDs have knowledge embedded
intelligence. They take inputs from GPS satellite system for position updates and network
among themselves for exchanging information using their data radio modems to take
decisions for timely auto-application of brakes to prevent dangerous 'collisions', thus forming
a 'Raksha Kavach. ACDs fitted act as a watchdog in the dark as they constantly remain in
lookout for other train bound ACDs, within the braking distance required for their relative
speeds. They communicate through their radios and identify each other. If they happen to find
themselves on the same track and coming closer to each other, they automatically restrain and
stop each other, thereby preventing dangerous head-on and rear-end collisions. Loco ACD of
a train also applies brakes to reduce the train speed either to 15 km/h if on approach it
receives a message from other train bound ACD that has stopped in a block section on
adjacent track or to bring the train to a stop if train bound ACDs of other train are radiating
'train parted' message thereby preventing dangerous side collision that may occur due to
infringement of adjacent track by a stopped or a 'parted' train, respectively.
