    Sahil Sharma
    The document outlines the Indian Railways' plan to roll out a Train Protection and Warning System (TPWS) in three segments from 2012-2020 to mitigate risks from trains passing signals at danger. The first segment will cover 3,300 route kms on dense signaling sections by 2015. The second will cover the remaining 5,024 route kms of route A by 2016. The third will cover 10,800 route kms of route B by 2020. A central organization called CORSS will oversee the rollout. Phase 1 of the first segment details sections covering 1,490 route kms on four railways requiring 535 onboard units. Draft specifications for routes A and C call for a cost-effective
