VIGILANCE CONTROL DEVICE

Vigilance Control Device supervises the alertness of the driving crew during train movement. This device can be installed in diesel electric and electric locomotives / EMUs as a standalone unit.

Technical Features

  • Normal driving activities like throttle, master controller, sander, loco brake, train brake, dynamic brake, etc. are taken as input signals for VCD operation.
  • Improves vigilance and provides warning and brake application signals in a predefined manner.
  • Records data with date and time, power on / off, penalty brake application, VCD By pass, VCD fault condition, VCD activation, VCD suppression etc. in a non-volatile memory for management review.
  • Windows-based data extraction and analysis software for report generation. Data extraction through Pen Drive.
  • User friendly data analysis software, allows to configure the unit with predefined timing cycle parameters.

Applications

  • Safety of train in case of absence / inactive driving crew.
  • To create alertness in driving crew for safe train movement.
  • Data analysis for management review in case of train breakdown / accident.
