WHAT IS AN A C D ?
z
The Anti Collision Device (ACD) is a self-acting microprocessorbased data communication device designed and developed by
Konkan Railway (KR).
When installed on locomotives (along with an auto braking unitABU), guard vans, stations and level-crossing gates (both manned
and unmanned), the network of ACD systems prevents high-speed
collisions in mid-sections, station areas and at level-crossing gates,
thereby saving the lives of rail passengers and road users.
The ACD uses both radio frequency and global positioning system
(GPS) through satellites, whereby a train is automatically brought to
a halt if the track ahead is not clear. The train starts braking three
kilometers ahead of a blockade.
