In up to 14 locations along the Mumbai–Ahmedabad high speed rail corridor, wind speed monitoring devices will be installed as strong winds have the potential to impact train operations.
The wind speed monitoring device, also known as an anemometer, is designed to provide real-time on wind speed data within the range of 0 to 252 kmph, and wind direction.
“The bullet train will traverse through coastal regions in the western part of the country, where wind speeds are particularly concentrated in certain areas. These strong winds have the potential to impact train operations on the viaduct,” a statement from National High Speed Rail Corridor Limited (NHSRCL) said.
