(IsraelNN.com) Indian Railways may seek Israeli cooperation to install advanced simulators and radar systems for the rail network in an effort to improve its safety record, officials said.

The simulators can be used to determine the line capacity, taking all possible factors into account, while radar systems can be utilized to prevent accidents at level crossings. A high-level delegation Indian delegation visited Israel recently at the invitation of the Israeli government.

A senior Indian official who was part of the delegation but did not wish to be named said the advanced simulation method used in Israeli railways could be useful in India. “There are radars at certain important level crossings in Israel which are found to be useful in preventing accidents, and the same can be considered here also,” he said.

The radars identify the stationary vehicles at the level crossings and alert the drivers in advance.
