Mumbai, May 26: Quadrant Future Tek has received permission from the Research Designs and Standards Organisation (RDSO) of Indian Railways to commence passenger trials for its Kavach 4.0 Automatic Train Protection System, according to an exchange filing.

The company said the approval marks the final phase in securing certification and commercial deployment clearance for the technology.

Kavach 4.0, also known as the Indian Railways Automatic Train Protection (IR-ATP) System, is designed to enhance railway safety by preventing signal passing at danger, overspeeding and potential collisions through automated intervention mechanisms.

According to the company, the commencement of passenger trials represents a key milestone in the approval and certification journey of the railway safety solution.
