Seismometers will be deployed for the first time in India as part of the Bullet Train project to guarantee the security of vital infrastructure and passengers in the event of an earthquake. In Ahmedabad, the Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail Corridor's cornerstone was set in September 2017. The bullet train will travel 508 kilometers at a speed of 320 kilometers per hour in two hours and seven minutes.

Details on the mechanics: HOW WILL SEISMOMETERS FUNCTION?

According to National High-Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL), this Early Earthquake Detection System will use primary waves to identify earthquake-induced vibrations and trigger an automated power outage. It is based on Japanese Shinkansen technology. When a power outage is detected, emergency brakes will engage, causing trains operating in the impacted region to come to a halt.

• The Japanese-made technology powering these elegant trains has developed over the last fifty years. The maximum speed has increased to 320 km/h (200 mph) from 210 km/h (130 mph), and one million passengers use it every day. To guarantee that the trains depart on time, the system is backed by a wide range of administrative and physical tools, including as automated train schedule management (ARTM), automatic train control (ATC), and specifically constructed high-speed rail lines. When paired with the operators' highly skilled technical abilities, this equipment—which is the result of a meticulous integration of hardware and software—allows for precise and dependable train control down to the second. Because of this method, trains with an average duration of less than one minute may operate at such precise intervals—three minutes—without experiencing schedule delays. In addition, the Shinkansen is renowned for the comfort and capacity it provides for passengers. The train's superior airtight shell and tilting system reduce vibration and offer a quiet, smooth ride, even when it leans quickly into bends.

The Railway Layout Quest: Geographical Distribution 

Twenty-two of the 28 seismometers will be positioned along the alignment. Mumbai, Thane, Virar, and Boisar are the eight cities in Maharashtra, and Vapi, Bilimora, Surat, Bharuch, Vadodara, Anand, Mahemdavad, and Ahmedabad are the fourteen cities in Gujarat. Along the route, seismometers will be mounted in switching posts and traction substations. The additional six seismometers, referred to as inland seismometers, would be situated in seismically active regions: Adesar and Old Bhuj in Gujarat; Khed, Ratnagiri, Latur, and Pangri in Maharashtra.
