Killer Tracks of
Mumbai Locals
-----------------------------------
On an average , some 9 persons get run over by local
trains in Mumbai , every day , while crossing the tracks
In past , I have suggested possible solutions to save
these lives , through my following blog ( sent as emails to the Railway
Ministers – earlier , to Shri Prabhu and last one to Shri Goyal ) :
Where
Prabhu failed, will Piyush succeed ? [ 18 March 2018 ]
That suggestion was based on using low voltage EMP ( Electro Magnetic Pulse ) , to “ fry “ the
electronics of the mobile phone being carried by the track-crosser , without
harming him
Logic : Such an expensive “ Digital Death “ would ensure that no one crosses tracks !
Then there was this news in Business Line ( 14 Feb ) ,
which read :
I am sure our scientists would have found some “
variant “ of that sound to ensure that humans do not dare to approach the
tracks !
This has been done in past for controlling rioting
mobs
Developed by the LRAD
corporation to
broadcast messages and pain-inducing "deterrent" tones over long
distances, LRAD devices come in various iterations that produce varying degrees
of sound. They can be mounted to a vehicle or handheld. The device produces a
sound that can be directed in a beam up to 30-degree wide, and the
military-grade LRAD
2000X can transmit
voice commands at up to 162dB up to 5.5 miles away.
The LRAD corporation
says that anyone within a 100 meters of the device's sound path will experience extreme
pain.
The version generally
utilized by police department (the LRAD
500X) is designed to
communicate at up to 2000 meters during ideal conditions.
In a typical outdoor
environment, the device can be heard for 650 meters. The 500x is also capable
of short bursts of directed
sound that cause
severe headaches in anyone within a
300-meter range.
Anyone within 15
meters of the device's audio path can experience permanent hearing loss. LRAD
claims the device is not a weapon, but a "directed-sound communication
device."
And if challenged , our DRDO
scientists should be capable of improving upon NL-LIPE
described below for use along train tracks :
I am not giving up till Shri Goyalji finds time
to read and say : YES , will give it a try !
