Overview of Safety on IR
During1960s, accidents/year the average number of were around
1393
. However, the average number of accidents/year came down to 866, 757 and 464 during1970s,1980s and 1990s respectively.
Accidents per million train kilometers were during 1960-61 and this has come down to during 2000-2001.

Consequential train accidents include train accidents having serious repercussion in terms of loss of human life, human injury, loss to Railway property or interruption to Rail traffic.
Collision, Fire in train, trains running into road traffic at level crossings, derailment and accidents of miscellaneous nature are included in consequential train accidents.

Safety in general
Safety performance
is dependant on the quality of the
Human element
and
induction of safety related technology
Emphasis on
Training
and wherever possible to
prevent human failure
through
technological inputs
Emphasis on clearing the backlog of
replacement of overaged assets
.
Funding of safety Projects
Prior to the year 2000-2001, expenditures for track renewals, Bridge works, Signal & Telecom, Workshops, Rolling stock etc were planned under various heads and there was no special funding from safety angle.
Further Road Safety Fund was created in the year 2000-2001 for building Road Over bridges and Road Under bridges.
Investment strategy
A High Power Railway Safety Review Committee was set up in 1998.
One of the major recommendations were to set up a “Special railway safety Fund” .
Apart from the normal Budgetary commitments a
“ Special Railway Safety Funds”
has been set up and the same is operative since October 2001.
Special Railway Safety Fund
A non lapsable “Special Railway Safety Fund” (SRSF) has been set as up to wipe out the arrears in renewal of over aged assets such
track, bridges, rolling stock
and
signalling gears
etc.
within a fixed time frame of 6 years.
Proposed plan under SRSF
Track Renewals Bridges Signal & Telecommunication Rolling Stock Safety Enhancement measures 45% 10.1% 18% 19% 6.7%

Renewal of Overage Assets
The following were the requirement of renewal : Arrears of Track Renewals (BG) -12,260 Kms.
Distressed Bridges -262 Nos.
Overaged Signalling Gear -1,560 Stations Overaged Coaches (BG) Overaged Wagons (BG) -1,322 Vehicle Units -34,000 (in terms of 4-wheeler units) As on 1.4.1999.
Funding Source for Various Categories of projects
Internal Generation Track Renewals Budgetary Support New Lines Market Borrowing Rolling Stock Signalling & Telecom Doubling Bridge Works Gauge Conversion Machinery & Plant Electrification Metropolitan Some categories funded from more than one source
Initiatives Taken
Investments :
rational distribution of funds for projects being undertaken in various states, within the availability of limited resources
,
for construction of Conversion and New Lines , Electrification Doubling , a clear Gauge and transparent formula adopted .
Prioritization of safety related projects
Measures Implemented
•To reduce human failures, a major technical input of track circuiting in station areas has been inducted in the system.
•To have faster and better communication, Walkie – talkie sets have been provided to drivers & Guards of all trains.
•Train operation during foggy and inclement weather is monitored closely to avoid any mishap.
•To monitor track geometry, sophisticated track recording cars, osillograph cars and portable accelerometers are used.
•Nearly 10,000 accident-prone four-wheeler wagons CRT’s have been phased out from the system in the last two years.
Measures Under implementation.
• • • • • • • Drivers and Guards are also being progressively provided with LED based electronic flashing lamps.
To reduce dependence on human elements and to prevent collision of trains, a device ‘block proving axle counter’ has been installed at 175 stations.
To detect ‘rail fractures’ and ‘weld failures’ double rai Ultrasonic Flaw detectors and Self Propelled Ultrasonic Rail Testing cars are being procured.
Modern simulators for training of drivers are getting installed and used in various training centers.
Automatic switching “ON” of flasher lights of locomotives in emergencies has been planned.
Level Crossing having heavy traffic density are being progressively interlocked with signals.
Self propelled medical vans and accident relief trains are being introduced for faster relief during emergencies.
Trials being conducted :
A
pilot project of has been

Summary
Safety is paramount to improve operational efficiency through intensive utilization of assets.
Economics is the critical factor in deciding IR’s policies on technological upgradation of safety aids. More fundamental issue is to tackle the problem of replacing
overaged assets
and
upgradation of maintenance infrastructure
. Special Railway safety Fund has been set up for replacement of overaged assets for improved productivity, Safety and reliability.
Emphasis on Modern Training Aids is an essential part of the human resource development programme Thus, the focus is on providing low cost and workable safety aids with emphasis on reduced human interference.
