Science & Tech | Dated: 02 Dec 2025

Indian Railways has announced the expansion of its AI-based "Gajraj Suraksha" system to 10 additional elephant corridors across Assam, West Bengal, and Odisha. The system uses Artificial Intelligence and optical fiber cables to detect the vibration of elephants moving near tracks and alerts loco pilots to prevent collisions.

🎯 Key Highlights:

  • Since its pilot launch, the system has successfully prevented over 50 potential elephant-train collisions in the Northeast Frontier Railway zone.
  • The technology is cost-effective and works in real-time, providing an advantage over traditional methods like thermal cameras or bee sound buzzers.
  • The expansion aims to achieve "Zero Elephant Deaths" on railway tracks by 2026.

💡 Other Important Facts:

  • System: Gajraj Suraksha.
  • Technology: AI & Optical Fiber Sensing.
  • Goal: Prevent elephant accidents.
