TRI-NETRA is abbreviation for Terrain Imaging for Drivers Infrared, Enhanced, Optical & Radar Assisted system.
It comprises of infrared camera, optical camera and radar assisted imaging system for assisting loco pilots in identifying obstructions on tracks, mainly during foggy conditions.
This device is making an attempt during fog via ultrasonic waves by help of which it will be able to detect any obstruction on tracks.
Indian Railways is conducting extensive trials of Tri-Netra technology so as to be sure that it is perfect in detecting any obstruction on tracks during fog
Without proper testing it cannot be implemented as it does not give them enough confidence to implement this technology.
The field trials being undertaken as a proof of the developed technology and its testing on all parameters will be done once it is procured.
