Railways to use radar-based system to avert mishaps
The Indian Railways has decided to procure a radar-based device to alert drivers of physical obstructions on railway tracks. The accident protection system, called 'tri-netra’, will use infra-red signals to sense obstructions up to 2-3 km ahead of the trains. Six countries, including France, Japan and Switzerland, have expressed desire to install the system in Indian trains, an official said.
