Stone India Ltd has received the second order for End of Train Telemeter (EOTT) device from Konkan Railway Corporation Ltd. The company is currently executing its first order of EOTT from Indian Railways.
The EOTT device is an advanced telemetric system which continuously monitors train brake system integrity, train completeness, train speed and train position. It consists of two units - one in the locomotive and another at the last wagon or coach - continuously communicating with each. When the driver applies brake from the locomotive the EOTT device automatically applies brake from the rear of the train as well. This helps to reduce the train stopping distance and increasing train safety, a Stone India statement claimed.
