DOT - Federal Railroad Administration

Description

The Project will demonstrate the efficacy deploying artificial intelligence for prototype track intrusion detection, integrated with PTC, on a 4.1 mile stretch of railroad on the Ventura Subdivision to detect potential trespassers on the rail right-of-way and prevent strikes by alerting the train automatically. The funding will support the purchase of track intrusion equipment, i.e. cameras, LiDAR and/or radar to identify trespassers. Significant public benefits and preservation of life are anticipated by successful demonstration, upscaling, and transfer of this innovative approach to integrate technologies to prevent train strikes.
