Indian Railways is constantly working towards making its tracks modern and safe. With the use of new technology, passengers will no longer experience tremors during the journey in trains. When a train goes from one track to another, this process will be very comfortable and without any shock. After the implementation of this technology on the entire route, the maximum speed of trains will be 160 km per hour, which will make the journey more fast and comfortable.
Indian Railway Track will now be of international level
Indian Railways is upgrading its tracks on the lines of railway tracks of developed countries. Due to the new technology, trains will now be able to run at the speed of the semi-ballot train. The Indian Railways is constantly improving its track system to ensure that passengers do not have any kind of inconvenience during the journey.
The biggest advantage of this technology will be that when the train goes from one track to another, the passengers will not feel any kind of shock. Earlier, the speed of the train slowed down while changing the track, but now this process will be very smooth.
When this entire technology is applied to the entire rail route, the maximum speed of trains will increase by 160 km per hour. This will not only reduce the time of travel but will also make the operation of the railway more efficient.
The speed of trains will increase and the destination can be reached soon
This new technology will increase the speed of trains and passengers will be able to reach their destination soon. It has been started from Jhansi Division and will soon be implemented in other railway divisions.
Railway officials say that both the speed and security of trains in Jhansi division are being given priority. According to this TWS (Thick Web Switch) Point Machine The work of planting is being done rapidly. This technique helps in increasing the safety of railway tracks.
What will be the benefit of TWS?
- Security of trains will improve.
- Shocks and vibrations will be less when changing the track.
- The speed of trains will increase without any interruption.
- The cost of maintenance will be reduced.
- The life of the track will increase and there will be less malfunction.
Total by January 2024 184 TWS (Thic Web Switch) The goal is to be installed. As of December 2024, 20 TWS has been installed, and many switches are being installed in January 2025. This will make the railway network more strong and safe.
Train speed will also increase on loop line
The main objective of installing TWS (thick web switch) is to take the speed of trains up to 130 km/h, which can be increased to 160 km/h in the future.
At the moment, the speed of trains on the loop line in Indian Railways is 30 km/h, but through new technology, it is increased 50 km/h Can be done up to. Loop line tracks are tracks where trains are removed from the main track or allowed to run at a slow pace.
Using new technology:
- The speed and control of trains will be better.
- The speed of trains on the loop line will double.
- The tremors and vibrations of trains will be reduced to a great extent.
- Traffic management will be better, which will also reduce the lethality of trains.
Track age and maintenance cost reduction
Of Jhansi Division DRM Deepak Kumar Sinha According to, TWS (Thick Web Switch) Use of railway will help in safety and increase their life.
Other benefits of TWS:
Turnout failure will reduce: Turn out is the place where the train goes from one track to another. The old system often caused malfunction, affecting train operations. But with the help of TWS, this problem will be solved.
Maintenance costs will decrease: The old switch and turn out system required repeated maintenance, but the new technology would cause a drastic reduction in maintenance costs.
Track’s life will increase: Due to the new technology, the railway tracks will remain safe and strong for a long time, which will not require repeated repairing.
Railway operations will be more efficient: This technique will prove to be extremely beneficial for fast -moving trains, which will make the functioning of the railway more effective and modern.
