VANDE BHARAT EXPRESS is India's semi-high speed train which leads the adoption of digital Automatic Train Protection (ATP) and Train Collision Avoidance Systems (TCAS) which is paving way for a safer and more efficient railway network in india. Aligning with the ' MAKE IN INDIA ' campaign of government of india , the Vande Bharat Express , along with TCAS known as KAVACH by Indian railways , is wholly designed and manufactured in India which is also a notable milestone in showcasing Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat. The train can achieve a maximum speed of 160 - 180 kmp/h due to its faster acceleration and deceleration . Traveling time by using Vande Bharat will also be reduced by 25 percent to 45 percent.

PROBLEMS FACED NY VANDE BHARAT EXPRESS :-

1. With Vande Bharat being a 16 - coach train compared to usual 22 coaches for rajdhani express or other super fast trains in India , there is reduction in carrying capacity , which may not be favourable for one of the most populous countries of the world.

2. Vande Bharat , although being capable of running at 160 km/hr , have been operating at an average speed of around 75 km/hr due to huge list of limitations such as IR tracks , bridges , tunnels etc.

~ other steps which have also been taken for progression of indian railways includes :-

1.Automatic signalling

another milestone accomplished by Indian railways is the development of automatic electronic book signalling systems at railway stations . This system has been instilled since it is cost effective and for purpose of increasing line capacity and safety measures on tracks.
