3.2.4. WIND ANEMOMETER:

As per Para No.717 of IRBM, where high winds are experienced and
there is a danger of vehicle capsizing, anemometers should be
installed at one of the railway station close to the bridge and suitable
working rules should be framed prescribing for each location the
maximum permissible wind velocity. The limiting wind velocity will be

specified by the Chief Engineer which should not exceed 72 Kmph. It
should be enjoined that the Station Master should control/stop the
traffic on the section concerned when the wind velocity exceeds the
limits. He should also inform the Station Master on the other side and
the section controller of the need to control the traffic. In selecting the
bridges, the previous experience and the occurrence of the accidents
should be the guiding factor. Anemometers are installed at MAGH &
MCI sections.
