Ahmedabad: As many as 14 locations have been identified for the installation of wind speed monitoring systems along the 508km Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train corridor, said the project implementing agency NHSRCL on Tuesday.
In all 14 locations -- nine in Gujarat and five in Maharashtra -- have been identified for the installation of "anemometers" devices to monitor wind speed, focusing on river bridges and areas prone to sudden and strong wind, National High Speed Rail Corporation Ltd (NHSRCL) said in a statement.
"The Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train corridor will traverse through coastal regions in the western part of the country, where wind speeds are particularly concentrated in certain areas. These strong winds have the potential to impact train operations on the viaduct," it said.
