Detecting defects in train wheels, preventing elephant fatalities: Railways deploys AI on tracks, trains and stations to boost safety
Indian Railways is implementing artificial intelligence systems across its network to monitor track conditions, train components and station environments. The technology aims to identify wheel defects early and reduce collisions with wildlife in the region, particularly elephants, by providing real‑time alerts. Officials say the AI deployment will enhance operational safety and protect both passengers and animals in the coming years.
