    Prabhu: World's largest 'Digital displays' for train arrivals and departures
  • Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu said India was setting up the world's largest 'digital display network' in the world to provide real-time information on train arrivals and departures.

    The displays will also show infotainment services to boost the railways' non-ticket revenues.

    The railways also unveiled a Made-in-India suburban train in Mumbai.

    Several new long-distance trains starting from Mumbai have also been flagged off.

    Indian Railways to introduce accident avoidance tech

    Indian Railways to introduce accident avoidance tech
  • India is going to be the first country which will use radar and laser-based terrain-imagining vision for monitoring obstruction on railway tracks.

    Going by the name Tri-Netra, this system will check for obstacles and barriers along railway lines and tracks.

    All events occurring on the tracks will be recorded on this device in order to carry out post-event analysis.

  • Purpose

    How will this help?

    How will this help?
  • While driving, loco pilots (drivers) depend solely on visual clues and visual images besides signals, to prevent hindrances.

    The objective of this technology is to prevent mishaps by warning the driver about potentially dangerous circumstances well in advance.

    Visualising danger from a reasonable distance will provide the loco pilots sufficient time to apply the brakes and thereby prevent accidents.

    Costing

  • According to sources, "The company will quote the price as there is no existing technology presently used anywhere in the world."
