The Train Protection & Warning System (TPWS) is a crucial safety mechanism deployed on Indian Railways.
- Train Protection & Warning System aims to mitigate the risk of Signal Passing At Danger (SPAD) by train drivers. SPAD incidents can lead to accidents. Train Protection & Warning System automatically activates brakes if a train exceeds safe speeds and It triggers emergency braking when a train passes a manual stop signal or an automatic signal at danger.
- Train Protection & Warning System uses balises (trackside beacons) to monitor train position and It ensures protection against overrun of danger points. Train Protection & Warning System is a silent guardian ensuring safer rail journeys!
