NEW DELHI . India will be the first country to use Terrain Imaging for Diesel Drivers- Infrared Enhanced Optical and Radar Assisted or ‘Tri-Netra’ in railways for monitoring obstructions on tracks to prevent mishaps, claims Indian Railways.

This will prove to be more useful during nights and in foggy conditions when drivers have to constantly look outside the locomotive to assess the condition,” Ved Prakash, Director Information & Publicity, Ministry of Railways told FE Online.ian Railways banks on ‘Tri-Netra’ to avoid train
According to railway officials, the tri-netra device will use infra-red to tab signals up to a distance of 2-3 km and display the information on a screen fitted inside the locomotive. The display will not distract the driver with flashes or alarms during normal conditions, but warn them about danger in red colour and will give the driver ample time to stop the train. The equipment will have cameras, antennas, sensors for visualising the track ahead, which will be mounted on either ends of the locomotive.
