KAVACH is a train safety system developed to ensure that a train’s speed remains within the parameters established by the signaling system.

In instances where the train exceeds the permissible speed or fails to respond to particular signal indications, the KAVACH Ssystem promptly engages the emergency braking system to halt the train effectively.
