ScienceNortheast Frontier Railway Uses AI to Prevent Train-Elephant Collisions
Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) has implemented AI-based technology to prevent train collisions with elephants. Between January and September 2026, these measures helped save 255 elephants across four divisions: Alipurduar (106), Rangia (14), Lumding (122), and Tinsukia (15). The system uses acoustic detection to alert railway staff and train drivers in real time, enabling timely action including speed restrictions and increased patrols.
