Vigilance Control Device for Diesel Electric/Electric Locomotives

VIGILANCE CONTROL DEVICE

Vigilance Control Device supervises the alertness of the driving crew during train movement. This device can be installed in diesel electric and electric locomotives / EMUs as a standalone unit.

Normal driving activities like throttle, master controller, sander, loco brake, train brake, dynamic brake, etc. are taken as input signals for VCD operation.
Improves vigilance and provides warning and brake application signals in a predefined manner.
Records data with date and time, power on / off, penalty brake application, VCD By pass, VCD fault condition, VCD activation, VCD suppression etc. in a non-volatile memory for management review.
Windows-based data extraction and analysis software for report generation. Data extraction through Pen Drive.
User friendly data analysis software, allows to configure the unit with predefined timing cycle parameters.
