Summary & Conclusion
HITS Technology is a “Revolutionary Concept” for Rail safety.
•Suitable for Metro (underground railway system),Inter-city and High-Speed Rail Network.
•Operational on all Rail Gauges (Meter, Broad, Narrow and Standard Gauges).
•Economical for Rail Operators by preventing accidents and cutting loses.
•Cheaper than conventional Anti-collision devices.
•HITS TECHNOLOGY WILL BE A BOON TO HIGHLY CONGESTED Rail routes like the Eastern suburban route in the U.S.A and the CONGESTED RAIL NETWORK of Indian Railways.
