Indian Railways to Deploy AI-Powered Cameras for Level Crossing Safety
Indian Railways plans to install AI-powered, solar-operated CCTV cameras at all non-interlocked level crossing gates to enhance safety and prevent accidents. These cameras will provide live feeds to station masters and control rooms, enabling real-time monitoring. The system will generate alerts if gates remain open beyond the required time. This initiative follows a fatal accident in Tamil Nadu where an open gate led to a train colliding with a school van, resulting in casualties. Railway officials aim to strengthen oversight with these technological measures.
