This time in Mumbai, during the rainy season, Monorail stayed in the middle road several times, causing passengers to face a lot of trouble. On August 19, about 582 passengers were trapped in Monorail between Bhakti Park and Chembur, who had to be taken out with the help of fire department and crane. A few days later, on 15 September, another monorail suddenly stopped near Wadala, in which 17 passengers were trapped and they were brought safely by bringing parallel rakes. After these continuous incidents, the monorail administration has started large scale improvement and modernization.
Under the Comprehensive Improvement Program of Monorail, three levels are being done under the Comprehensive Improvement Program of Monorail. First, modern communication based train control (CBTC) signaling system is being installed in Monorail, which will increase security and make the movement of trains even easier. Second, new racks are being added fast so that the fleet can be modernized. Third, the old rack is also being upgraded so that their functionality can be brought equal to the new rack.
The time between trains will be reduced to 5 minutes
Earlier Monorail’s rack used to make Malaysia company, but now an Indian company in Hyderabad has prepared 10 new racks. After their use starts, the timing of trains will also be affected. Where earlier a train used to come every 15 to 18 minutes, now preparations are being made to reduce this gap to 5 minutes. Since these racks are made entirely in India, equipment during servicing will also be easily available.
Modern features are being added to new racks and upgrade systems
Many modern features are being added to new racks and upgrade systems, such as make-in-India design, modern suspension for better ride comfort, fire safety based on international standards, microprocessor-based control systems, CCTV monitoring, special seats for Divyang, 230V AC Charging Points, Multillingual Passenger Afformsation Displays, dynamic root maps, fire detection systems, new copeler designs, tire and bearings monitoring systems, new motor and converter technology, LED lighting, modern interiors and availability of spare parts for the whole lifetime.
Monorail will be temporarily closed
MMRDA Commissioner Dr. Sanjay Mukherjee said that Monorail is being temporarily closed from Saturday so that improvements can be made by studying frequent disturbances. During this time, new trains will be entered and overhaling and repairing of old trains will be done. He said, “Monorail is now going to get the same modern system which is in the new lines of Mumbai Metro. The time between trains will be reduced to 5 minutes and passengers will also be given better facilities like Wi-Fi. New improvided monorail will soon be in front of passengers. ”
