Emphasising on the technology, Indian Railways is installing a new system to do away with the guard vans and the practice of deploying guards at the rear-end of goods trains to ensure all wagons remain intact when the train is in motion.

The innovation-driven activity visualizes the supplanting of gatekeeper vans with a completely stacked cart outfitted with an advanced gadget called the End of Train Telemetry (EoTT) framework.

The Rs 100 cr venture imagines the acquisition of EoTT, a gadget that intends to build up a correspondence between the train driver and the last part of the train, to be prepared in all cargo trains.

While Railways would buy a complete 1000 such gadgets from abroad, the Banaras Locomotive Works (BLW) in Varanasi, recently known as Diesel Locomotive Works, has requested 250 EoTT from South Africa.

In any case, we are getting 10 such gadgets from the USA and South Africa one month from now for preliminary purposes however the EoTT framework is effectively operational in totally progressed nations, said a senior Railway Ministry official.

Each set of EoTT gadgets is assessed to cost roughly Rs 10 lakh.

The activity is a savvy venture as the watchman van would be supplanted with a completely stacked cart as we are expanding the number of carts in similar trains, official kept up.

The gear is intended to do the watchman’s occupation by offering a sign to the loco driver if there should arise an occurrence of the splitting of cart or mentor from the backside of the train.

EoTT framework includes two units – one unit flagged down a taxi show unit (CDU) fitted on the train and the other is a sense and brake unit (SBU) fitted on the last mentor or part of the train.

The EoTT is relied upon to build up a correspondence between the loco driver and the last part of the train to guarantee that the cargo train is running with all carts as a total unit.

Clarifying the framework the authority said “A transmitter is fitted on a train and a recipient is fitted toward the finish of the last cart. The transmitter and the last cart recipient trade flags occasionally to guarantee that the train is running unblemished.

On the off chance that there is a break in the correspondence between the two units, the driver gets a sign that the train has separated and in like manner the train must be halted to relink the separated carts.
