Watch: How AI will keep deer off train tracks this Christmas
Deer are being deterred from walking onto train tracks this Christmas with a system using artificial intelligence (AI).
Previous methods of keeping deer away from railway tracks, including train-mounted whistles, can be unreliable and costly.
The automated deer deterrent system (Adds), developed by LNER and Network Rail, uses sound and vision sensors to detect when a deer approaches the tracks.
It will be rolled out to sections of the East Coast Main Line between London King’s Cross and Edinburgh with high rates of deer incursions.
