The trains were each traveling at an estimated 50 to 60 mph (80 to 100 km/h). The impact derailed them both, and destroyed several wooden cars.
The triangle shows a relationship between the number of accidents resulting in serious injury, minor injuries or no injuries. The relationship was first proposed in 1931 by Herbert William Heinrich in his Industrial Accident Prevention: A Scientific Approach. [1] Heinrich was a pioneer in the field of workplace health and safety.
[a] It is a widely accepted system promoted by numerous safety organizations. This concept is taught to managers in industry, to be promoted as standard practice in the workplace. It has also been used to inform public policy, in fields such as road safety. [13] Various illustrations are used to depict this system, most commonly a triangle.
The ACD Network is a train-collision prevention system invented by Rajaram Bojji and patented by Konkan Railway Corporation, a public-sector undertaking of the Ministry of Railways, government of India. Anti-collision devices were found to be effective in the Southern Railway zone after a brief trial. [citation needed]
The method also promotes a systemic view of accident causation as the AcciMap diagram extends well beyond the most immediate causes of the event to reveal the full range of higher-level factors that contributed to the outcome (or failed to prevent it from occurring).
Define and delimit the system and the scope of the analysis. Identify hazards and potential hazardous events. Determine causes and frequency of each hazardous event. Identify accident scenarios (i.e. even sequences) that may be initiated by each hazardous event. Select relevant and typical accident scenarios. Figure 3: Bow-tie diagram of risk ...

[1] [2] Initially it was known by the name Train Collision Avoidance System (TCAS). [3] [4] Kavach was adopted by Ministry of Railways as the National ATP System in July 2020. [5] Kavach functioning explained through schematic diagram. Development of Kavach began in the year 2011 as an open architecture system. In 2014, field trials commenced.
