New Delhi: The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) on Monday unveiled a prototype of a new driver training and evaluation simulator — the rolling stock driver training system (RSDTS) — that officials said is a major step towards indigenising the technologies involved in operating the Metro.
Union ministry of housing and urban affairs secretary Durga Shanker Mishra also launched the Super Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system, a monitoring mechanism to help identify maintenance periodicity, manpower requirements and management of spares, on Monday.
“This system (RSDTS) will also be used for evaluating the driving skills of a working train operator which is done periodically for safety considerations. This will be the first indigenously developed universal train driving simulator that can be suitably modified for any Metro system or Railways,” said Anuj Dayal, executive director, corporate communication, DMRC.
