New Delhi [India], January 3 (ANI): Every year, during foggy weather in the winter months, a large number of trains are affected, especially in the northern parts of the country. To ensure smooth rail operations, Indian Railways have provisioned 19,742 Fog Pass Devices during the foggy weather.
This initiative marks a crucial step in improving the reliability of train services, reducing delays, and enhancing overall passenger safety.
Fog Pass Device is a GPS-based navigation device that helps the loco pilot navigate during dense fog conditions. It provides on-board real-time information (Display as well as voice guidance) to Loco Pilots regarding location of fixed landmarks such as Signal, Level Crossing gates (Manned and Unmanned), Permanent Speed Restrictions, Neutral sections, etc.
It displays approach indications of the next three approaching fixed landmarks in geographical order, accompanied by a voice message approximately 500m on approach.
