MUMBAI, India, July 31 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202411102598 A) filed by Lovely Professional University on December 24, 2024, for Ai-Based Wildlife Safety And Deterrence System For Railway Tracks.
Inventors include Parminder Singh; and Chetan Suri.
The application for the patent was published on July 24, 2026, under issue no. 30/2026.
Abstract: AI-based wildlife safety and deterrence system for railway tracks is an invention designed to reduce wildlife collisions on railway tracks, ensuring both ecological preservation and operational safety. This system integrates advanced thermal infrared cameras capable of detecting animals up to 400 meters away, an AI processing unit for real-time risk assessment, and automated deterrent mechanisms. By combining audio warnings and a controlled rubber bullet dispersal system, it prompts animals to vacate tracks humanely and effectively. The train control interface facilitates automatic speed adjustments, while a manual override ensures operator flexibility during complex scenarios. Post-detection monitoring ensures tracks are clear before resuming normal operations, and a feedback loop continuously enhances system performance through machine learning. This innovative solution addresses the limitations of traditional methods, providing a humane, efficient, and sustainable approach to railway safety while fostering coexistence between modern transportation infrastructure and wildlife conservation.
