Avoid train accidents due to damaging attempts by anti-social elements or due to any other factors on the track.

The use of radar for detecting distant objects, among other things, in the space either on or near railway tracks is beneficial due to radar’s wide area coverage, ability to operate under harsh weather conditions, and long-range target detection. This is how radar technology can perform the function of track intrusion detection

Radar Emission and Reflection

Electromagnetic waves are released by radar systems in the direction of the railroad tracks. These waves return to the radar receiver when they come into contact with an object (such as a person, car, or piece of trash). The system measures the observed object's size, speed, direction of motion, and distance by examining the reflected waves.

Pulse Radar: Measures long distances accurately and can provide detailed information about stationary and moving objects near the tracks.

Trackside Installations: Radar units may be positioned all along the tracks at different intervals. Since each radar unit can cover a wide region, fewer units are required to monitor a larger area.

On-Train Radar Systems: In order to identify problems farther down the track and provide the driver or an autonomous braking system ample time to respond, radar can also be installed on the front of trains.

Integration with Other Systems

To improve accuracy and dependability, radar can be combined with additional sensors (such as vibration, infrared, or cameras).

Data Fusion: To reduce false positives (such as tiny animals or fallen branches), radar data can be combined with other sensor outputs.

Artificial Intelligence for Object Identification: Radar data can be analyzed, and objects can be classified (e.g., human vs. animal vs. inanimate object) using AI algorithms. With time, machine learning models can become more adept at differentiating between genuine threats and false warnings.
