529. Al System used to protect Wildlife on Railway tracks
- An Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered intrusion detection system was cleared for installation along the 15km Motichur-Raiwala railway stretch to prevent wildlife from being hit by speeding trains.
- The state has a high density of wildlife including tigers, leopards, elephants, and ungulates. As per forest department data, elephants and leopards are among the most frequently hit species, especially in the Shivalik Elephant Reserve, which spans Garhwal and parts of Haldwani, Tanakpur, and Ramnagar in Kumaon.
- The animal intrusion system uses fibre optics and Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) to detect animal movements close to the tracks. It can also sense other activities like train movement, digging and cable damage. Once the system picks up an acoustic signal, it immediately sends alerts to the station master, loco pilot, and frontline forest staff.
- Globally, DAS has found wider railway applications, from detecting rockfalls to sensing rail fractures and trespassing. By turning existing fibre infrastructure into large-scale acoustic sensors, railways can track multiple hazards in real-time.
530. Gajraj System: Railways to install AI-based surveillance system to prevent elephant deaths on tracks
