A
pilot project for field trial with Automatic Fire and Smoke Detection system
has been taken up in one rake of New Delhi-Bhubaneswar Rajdhani Express.
Besides, one LHB (Linke Hofmann Busch) rake in New Delhi-Jammu Tawi Rajdhani
and one rake of LHB AC Double Decker coached running between Kachiguda-
Tirupati-Guntur have also been provided with such a system. Technical
specification has been revised for extended field trial. In the revised
specification, Air brake system has been interfaced with Fir and Smoke
detection system for automatic application of brakes in trains in emergency
situations owing to fire.
Presently, trials are being conducted only in Air Conditioned (AC) trains as the present design of Automatic Fire and Smoke Detection system is suitable for AC coaches which have regulated circulation of ambient air inside coaches.
Research Designs & Standards Organisation (RDSO) has developed a tentative technical specification for trial of Automatic Fire and Smoke Detection system suitable for non-AC coaches.
This information was given by the Minister of State for Railways Shri Manoj Sinha in written reply to a question in Rajya Sabha today.
