Efforts are underway to equip the Dhanbad-Gaya Grand Chord section with an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) to monitor elephants approaching railway tracks. Tenders have been initiated by the railways after completing the necessary procedures. This system will prevent train accidents and protect elephants from being hit by trains. The system, which will utilize Artificial Intelligence (AI) to identify elephants, will alert the control room and the loco pilot as soon as an elephant is detected near the tracks. The system is planned for implementation on the Chichaki-Hazaribag Road and Keswari-Chaube sections, covering approximately 40 kilometers of up and down lines, from near Gomoh to Koderma. The project is estimated to cost ₹4.83 crore and is expected to be completed within six months of awarding the work.
