Indian Railways to Deploy AI System for Freight Train Security

Indian Railways to Deploy AI System for Freight Train Security

Indian Railways is making its freight trains smarter and safer!

They are putting a new computer system called DRISHTI on the trains, which uses artificial intelligence, like a smart helper.

This system watches the doors of the train cars while the train is moving.

Sometimes, doors can get accidentally unlocked or tampered with, which is dangerous.

DRISHTI will automatically check these doors and let people know if there's a problem.

This is much better than having people try to check doors manually, which is hard and takes a long time, especially on long train journeys.

A test version of this smart system has already been working well for about ten months on some train cars, helping to keep the cargo safe.
