Science behind electronic interlocking in Railways for safe journey around the globe

 

Tagline: Electronic interlocking: Flawless signaling system of railways

 

Electronic Interlocking is technical upgradation in railways to control signals and routings. It has myriads of upsides over Electro-Mechanical or conventional panel interlocking that include independent of space satellite network, self-diagnostic components, security and trustworthiness.

 Electronic interlocking is an effective railway signaling system in which electronic systems are used to regulate signals and points. In highly technical electronic interlocking system, sensors and feedback devices are embedded to detect the presence and location of trains on the railway tracks. Electronic interlocking in railways has incorporated a range of safety systems for trains that include train detection systems, signals, switches, and track circuits.




 The principle of electronic interlocking is to provide a complex signaling system through computer logic both hardware and software in order to avert any train disaster such as head -on collision or derailment. Through electronic interlocking system, commands are given when the railway track is clear ahead for trains to proceed.

According to environmental sources, the biggest Electronic Interlocking System of Asia is at Bandel Junction which has provision of 1002 routes. Electronic Interlocking System is developed to guarantee smooth and safe operations of railways all over the world. Electronic interlocking routes and controls the speed of trains.

 Major advantage of electronic interlocking is to offer efficient, flawless operation through Computer Based Video Display Units. Installing electronic interlocking signaling systems with controllers requires less cables.

 Recently, there was one tragic train accident in “Balasore” district of Odisha, India happened, where three trains collided that was heart throbbing and a threat to railway traffic. This accident happened even after the implementation of the electronic interlocking system. This means that train signals are perfectly locked with respective set of track positions in turn route of the train. The cause of the accident is still under investigation.

 Above dreaded upheaval indicates that experts need to closely monitor the technical aspects of the electronic interlocking system of railways.

 

Last word: 

Wrapping scientific details, electronic interlocking system is highly reliable to failsafe and smooth operations in managing train routs, and control signals. Key objective of adopting electronic interlocking in railways is to prevent inconsistent schedules between trains in order to avoid any accidents. This system commands signals for safe route of trains.
