Caltrain’s AI Now Stops Track Collisions
AI Enhances Rail Crossing Safety
Caltrain has implemented cutting-edge AI technology at the Burlingame rail crossing to detect stationary objects, vehicles, and individuals on the tracks. The system, developed in collaboration with various tech partners, alerts train operators in real-time to prevent potential collisions.
Impact and Future Implementation
Officials state that the AI system has already shown a measurable reduction in near-miss incidents. Caltrain plans to collect more data and potentially expand this solution to additional crossings to boost rail and pedestrian safety across the network.
