ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Railways has planned to introduce the ‘Train Driver Assistant System’ (TDAS) for helping train drivers to have a clear view of the railway tracks up to an impressive distance of 700 meters. According to an official of Ministry of Pakistan Railways, “The technology aims to enhance the safety and efficiency of train operations during adverse weather conditions, particularly in the presence of dense smog and fog.”He said that the TDAS system was set to revolutionize the way trains navigate through foggy landscapes. It promised not only to avert potential accidents but also to facilitate smooth rail travel when visibility is severely compromised. The official said this comprehensive approach to training management promises to reduce the risk of accidents significantly. However, Pakistan Railways has outlined a strategic expansion plan, with the ultimate goal of equipping all trains with this life-saving technology in the coming year.
