\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

The engineers from Pakistan Railways, in collaboration with University of Engineering and Technology (UET) engineers, have successfully developed a state-of-the-art digital railway driving system.<\/span><\/p>\n

This groundbreaking system not only enhances safety by preventing accidents but also offers clear track visibility of up to 700 metres, even in smoggy conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n

A spokesperson for the PR said on Wednesday the system prominently displays track clearance information on the driver’s screen, ensuring obstacle-free operations.<\/span><\/p>\n
