In a first, seismometers to be installed on Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train for early detection of earthquakes
The Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail Corridor, commonly known as the Bullet Train project, will install an Early Earthquake Detection System to ensure the safety of passengers and critical infrastructure during seismic events.
The system, inspired by Japanese Shinkansen technology, will deploy 28 seismometers along the high-speed rail corridor, a statement said. These seismometers will play a crucial role in detecting earthquake-induced tremors through primary waves, facilitating an automatic power shutdown. In case of a power shutdown, emergency brakes will be activated, bringing trains to a halt in the affected area.
