Salient features

 Loco marshaled at either end of the train formation.

 Remote terminal unit fitted on locos works as transmitter and receiver.
 16 signals required for synchronizing moment of the locos, transmitted
 through radio based wireless communication system.
 Units fitted with automatic fail safe operation to ensure against moving of locos
 in idle condition.
Benefits:
 Detention on account of loco reversal, creation of pressure and continuity test eliminated – Saving of 2
Hrs in each trip.
 MU operation achieved without cable connection, thus giving flexibility in operation.
 Coupler forces minimized to reduce the chances of train parting.
 Parting & Stalling are NIL till date.
