Reporter - Shahid Alam
In a significant step towards enhancing safety and efficiency in train operations, the Malda Division of Eastern Railway has introduced an innovative helmet camera monitoring system for rolling in-and-out examination activities. This advanced system is set to revolutionize train examination processes by providing real-time monitoring and ensuring prompt identification of defects during train operations.
The newly implemented helmet camera will be utilized for under-gear examinations, including inspecting wheels, bearings, and hanging parts of the train as it moves at a crawling speed through stations. The objective is to identify and address any defective components while the train is in motion, ensuring uninterrupted and safe operations.
Malda Division is the first within Eastern Railway to install this state-of-the-art helmet camera monitoring system. The helmet camera monitoring system will be provided to rolling in-and-out examination staff. Currently, a total of 08 helmet cameras have been provided, at each station in Malda and Jamalpur. Plans are underway to extend this system to other stations, including Bhagalpur, Sahibganj, and other stations within the Malda Division.
Key Features of the Helmet Camera Monitoring System:
• In-Built Recording: Allows for continuous recording of train examination activities.
• Livestreaming Capability: Provides live streaming to the backend system, enabling remote monitoring of employees and assets.
• Flexible Connectivity: The video feed can be transmitted live to the backend system or a video wall via Wi-Fi or GPRS (SIM card).
• Push-to-Talk Facility: Facilitates seamless communication between on-field personnel and the control room.
• Extended Battery Life: Offers approximately 8 hours of battery backup with an IP66 rating for durability.
• Archival Capability: Recorded videos can be saved for future review, allowing for thorough analysis and improved decision-making.
The introduction of this helmet camera monitoring system marks a significant milestone for the Malda Division, aligning with its commitment to adopting modern technology for safer and more efficient railway operations.
