c. Both 1 and 2
d. Neither 1 nor 2

ANSWER: Only 2
 
  • The concept of TRI-NETRA was developed by Development Cell under the guidance of Member Mechanical, Railway Board while brainstorming on how to use the technology employed by fighter aircrafts to see through clouds and operate in pitch darkness and the technology used by naval ships in mapping the ocean floor and navigating in the night.
  • Such an “assisted vision” system is not available readily in any of the advanced railway systems but the manufacturers and technology partners who develop components of such systems for defence are very excited with the concept.
  • The system shall also map the terrain ahead so that the driver knows when he is approaching a station or a signal.
