It serves as a great transport to cover large geographical distances over short period of time. It also contributes a large to the Indian economy. However, unexpected delays and accidents make it less reliable. In the era of innovation and technology, India must implement transport mechanism in railways to make it more reliable and attractive for investment, which incorporate such a system, in which the loco pilot can easily view the railway track and can also assess the presence of another train on the same track.
