Indian Railways Launches AI-Based Project DRISHTI for Freight Wagon Security
Indian Railways' Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR), in collaboration with IIT Guwahati, has launched Project DRISHTI, an AI-based system to monitor freight wagon doors, locks, and seals. Using high-speed cameras, intelligent lighting, and secure networks, the system inspects wagons in motion at designated points, aiming to enhance cargo security and reduce manual inspection challenges, especially in difficult terrain and adverse weather. The technology supports railway staff by enabling faster detection of irregularities and digital storage of inspection data.
