Section 161 of Railway act indicates “If any person driving or leading a vehicle is negligent in crossing an unmanned level crossing, he shall be punishable with imprisonment which may extend to one year.”

Section 131 of the Motor Vehicle Act indicates that “Every driver of a motor vehicle at the approach of any unguarded railway level crossing shall cause the vehicle to stop and the driver of the vehicle shall cause the conductor or cleaner or attendant or any other person in the vehicle to walk up to the level crossing and ensure that no train or trolley is approaching from either side and then pilot the motor vehicle across such level crossing, and where no conductor or cleaner or attendant or any other person is available in the vehicle, the driver of the vehicle shall get down from the vehicle himself to ensure that no train or trolley is approaching from either side before the railway track is crossed”

However due to non-following of relevant rules by the road users, many accidents are occurring resulting in loss of precious life at unmanned level crossings.

Suggest solutions for reducing accidents at unmanned level crossings.

Their is gap between platform and railway coaches which is reason for many accidents and is uncomfortable for public. Government can reduce this gap by using Delhi metro like coaches and in this way they will modernize railway also and will be helpful in checking offenders who are traveling in railways without buying tickets and bringing loss to railways. Their should be Delhi metro like coaches & stations to check offenders and stray animals who are running on stations and railway tracks.

Government should increase the number of coaches during the festive seasons or normally also because every time people are facing difficulties in getting reservations every time and specially during the festive seasons and we always hear that railways are in loss so by increasing the number of coaches railways can also increase their income. Railways should run on electricity rather than diesel railways should increase the pace of electrification work of railways so that they can save money

Government should start selling general & platform tickets online or atleast government should put automatic ticket vending machines on every stations so that just for getting platform ticket people have to stand in long lines and waste their precious time just to take a platform ticket. Government should increase ticket counters on every station so that people can have ticket easily and in short span of time. Stations should be kept clean not only at the time of inspection but each & everyday.

Sir , i wish there should be small gates to prevent unmanned railway crossing . these gates can open and close automatically as soon as the rail enters to the circumference with the help of vibration the gate should operate. then we can prevent accidents.

sir there should be a way of display inside the train which shows the name of the upcoming station and inform to the passengers because in the winter time when the visibility is very less its very difficult to know abut the upcoming station . and after crossing the station it may be used to show the different advertisement or some governmental social task also .really this is very useful and also a part of the digital india

Hon'ble sir As a civil engineering student must suggest to build short over bridges above railway crossing or we can build tunnel at same crossing. We can adopt any appropriate way. Advantage is it is time saving, accidents can be prevented, regular traffic way, no stoppage during train crossing, etc I hope must think about this concept.
