Abstract

Animals frequently come into contact with the trains that utilize railway lines, which puts them in grave risk. Many fatalities are caused each year by the inability of animals to escape accidents at the high speeds of trains. A smart siren system that employs image processing technology to find animals on or near the train tracks and warn them of an approaching train can be created to solve this issue. The proposed system captures an image of the surrounding region using cameras that are installed on the sides of the tracks. After that, computer vision algorithms are applied to these photographs in order to identify any nearby animals. Animals may hear the sound that is emitted by a smart siren when it is triggered after it detects animals. To guarantee that animals are warned of the impending train in advance, the siren can be installed at various points along the tracks. This approach can encourage coexistence between animals and people while drastically reducing the amount of animal deaths on railway lines. Overall, the smart siren system suggested in this research can provide an innovative and effective solution to stop animal collisions with trains and to increase safety for both humans and animals.
