EASTERN Railway (ER) will
start using Artificial Intelligence
(AI)-based technology to
enhance passenger safety, an
official said on Saturday.
Eastern Railway CPRO
KaushikMitra saidthatamong
the latest advancements is an
AI-driven wheel prediction
software for locomotives.
“This software meticulously monitors locomotive wheel
dimensions and is set to revolutionise maintenance practices by minimising human
error,” he said.
He said that the wheel prediction software boasts several key features designed to
streamline operations and
enhance safety.
“Built on a cloud-based platform,using Google Sheets, the
software offersa seamless user
experience, enabling personnel to input wheel measurements directly from their mobile devices. By analysingthedataprovided,thesoftwareaccurately predicts the probable date when flange or rootwear will exceed prescribedlimits, allowing for timelymaintenance interventions,”Kaushik Mitra.
He informed that throughprecise monitoring and predictive analytics, the softwarecontributestowardsextendingthe lifespan of locomotivewheels, ultimately reducingmaintenance costs andenhancing operational efficiency
