Depth : 3.0 inch
The enclosure of NVR may be maintained within above dimensions limit.
Location of HDMI port for display, all health display LED indication, USB port for
data downloading, acknowledge switch and extracting port should be at front
portion of NVR for ease of access. Connectors should be on right side of NVR.

Annexure-III
1. Introduction
Alertness of the Loco Pilots is one of the important considerations for safe running of trains. Drowsiness/ lack of
alertness threatens the rail safety and may cause severe loss of Railway property as well as human lives.
Drowsiness generally implies feeling lethargic, lack of concentration and tired eyes of the loco pilots while driving
the locomotives/trains. To monitor the loco pilots for improving his alertness, RDAS will be able to detect the
drowsiness/lack of alertness nature of the loco pilot and alert him immediately. RDAS will capture images as a
video stream through a camera, detect the face and localizes the eyes and other face parameters. All the face
parameters & responses of loco pilot are then analysed for detection of drowsiness/lack of alertness. Based on
the result, the loco pilot will be alerted through an alarm system.
2.1 This document lists the functional requirements of ‘Railway Driver Assistance System (RDAS)’ for use on Electric
& Diesel locomotives and any self-propelled vehicle treated as a train of Indian Railways. This document has
been prepared with an objective to stipulate the requirements for RDAS, which shall assess the Loco Pilot’s
alertness through AI based cameras and shall warn the Loco Pilot accordingly.
2.2 The specification covers basic features of equipment. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer/supplier to
develop circuit/detailed design to meet the requirements of this specification.
3. Contractor’s responsibility
To be governed as per Clause 1.2 of RDSO Specification No. RDSO/2015/EL/SPEC/0118, Rev.1 with latest
amendments.
4. Modifications
To be governed as per Clause 1.4 of RDSO Specification No. RDSO/2015/EL/SPEC/0118, Rev.1 with latest
amendments. RDAS after its lab testing/validation shall be commissioned in the locomotives. All such systems
will be monitored for their performance and required modifications shall be carried out as per aforesaid Clause
1.4 of RDSO Specification No. RDSO/2015/EL/SPEC/0118, Rev.1 with latest amendments.
