CHENNAI (Metro Rail News): Faiveley Transport Rail Technologies India Private Limited and Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) has signed a contract agreement for “Design, Supply, Installation, Testing and Commissioning of Anti Drag Feature in all the saloon doors of 52 trains of CMRL Phase-1.
The contract has been awarded to Faiveley Transport Rail Technologies India Private Limited at a contract price of Rs.48.33 crores (including GST).
The contract agreement was signed today by Thiru. A. R.Rajendran, Chief General Manager (RS, S&T), CMRL, and Thiru. Puneet Mehrotra, Senior Director, Faiveley, Thiru. C. Balamurugan, Additional General Manager (Rolling Stock), along with other officials and staff of CMRL and Contractors were present during the event.
Currently, Chennai Metro trains are equipped with automatic sliding doors featuring an obstacle detection system that identifies objects obstructing the doors during closure at stations. The new Anti-Drag Passenger Door Safety System will further enhance passenger safety by detecting thinner objects such as sarees, bag straps, or belts that may get trapped between doors during boarding or deboarding.
This advanced system can detect any “pull” or “drag” force. If such an item is dragged as the train begins to move, the system will automatically trigger the emergency brake and provide an instant alert to the train operator through the driver’s console for immediate action.
