Use of Artificial Intelligence to observe misbehaviours at level crossings, trespassers and suicidal behaviours
Status: Ongoing projectSector: Safety PlatformProject reference: AI4SAFEBEHAVE · P841000Duration: <2 years
Project description
Engineering solutions, education, awareness and enforcement measures currently in effect are not sufficient or satisfactory, as most collisions at and around tracks are caused by human factors. Therefore, AI technology can help the railways in their daily operation by offering technical solutions to reduce the number of train incidents and the related casualties or predict dangerous situations and the amount of potential accidents.
This is why UIC, together with its members, decided to launch the project to leverage the benefits from AI to better observe human behaviours at level crossings, for trespassing incidents on railway tracks and premises, or even for attempted suicides, to reduce accidents and fatalities.
Main foreseen outcomes:
- An IRS
- Creation of UIC guidelines
- Release of a UIC toolbox
- Proposed mitigation measures
Advantages to the railway sector:
- Enhance railway system safety by reducing suicides, trespassing and the misuse of level crossings
- Enhance railway system performance by reducing incidents and thereby delays
