AI-based Intrusion Detection System to be installed to protect elephants from train accidents in Jharkhand
The Intrusion Detection System, for which a successful trail was completed recently along the Barabamboo-Chakradharpur-Lotapahar section, detects the presence of elephants close to the rail track and informs the loco pilots on time so that they can 'slow down' the speeding train.
Two elephants, Jyoti and Sonu, were arranged from 'Vantara' for the testing to assess the impact of EIDS.
The system will operate through fibre optics and sensors. This step will prove to be very crucial in the Kolhan region, where a large number of elephants cross railway tracks regularly and many of them are hit by trains and killed.
The system has been developed by Indian Railways in association with the Forest Department. The railway officials have identified such spots where elephants move frequently and will install the system at such places.
According to Railway officials, the system works within a radius of 30 meters on both sides of the railway track. When a herd of elephants comes within the radius, the system immediately sends an alert to the nearest station master.
'The station master will inform the train driver through the wireless system, after which the speed of the train is slowed down,' said Senior DCM Adiyta Kumar Chaudhary.
