If the motorman fails to respond to the warning, an emergency brake is immediately initiated. The new voice command feature was introduced in 22 rakes in April. Sunil Udasi, CR chief public relations officer said, "We feel that motormen are doing a good job in stressful conditions. Hence, in April, this additional voice command feature was incorporated in trains to announce there’s a red signal ahead as soon as the train crosses a yellow signal."
