Anil Kakodkar Committee was constituted in 2011 to review high-level safety measures and submitted its reports in February 2012. Some of the important recommendations include
Stopping the practice of introduction of new trains without commensurate inputs to boost the infrastructure
Having a statutory Railway Safety Authority
Setting up a Railway Research and Development Council at the apex level
Adoption of an advanced signalling system based on continuous track circuiting and cab signalling similar to European train control system Level-II
Total elimination of all level crossings (manned and unmanned) within five years.
