Thousands of AI alerts prevent train‑elephant collisions near Coimbatore

The AI camera grid covering the railway stretch adjacent to the forest near Puthupathi has issued more than seven thousand alerts in just 30 months. Each alert triggers a response from forest wardens, who guide the herd away from the tracks, and from railway staff, who adjust train operations. As a result, more than three thousand trains have been slowed or halted, and almost ten thousand elephant movements across the line have been safely managed.
