Train delays have always been a problem for people of developed as well as developing countries. Even after all the progress we have made, we have not been able to solve this problem. According to Plamen Angelov, a researcher from the University of Lancaster, train delays are caused not by the operators but by the passengers. For instance, in order to board a train, passengers block its door, restricting the deboarding passengers and delaying the departure of the train. Some of them hold the doors open or stay too close to the door while some cross the safety lines on the platform, delaying the trains every time. A delay of a few minutes may not appear to be signi}cant until these minutes add up over the course of a journey. Dr Angelov plans to solve this problem with the help of an Artificial Intelligence (AI) system. He and his team plan to use images from the CCTV cameras already present in the train carriages to calculate how busy a particular exit will get as passengers prepare to disembark. At the same time, the cameras present on the platform will observe the number of people waiting to board the train. Both the data points will then be fed to the AI system that can analyze the data to find out the likely areas of congestion, and accordingly, can route the passengers so that the overall congestion can be reduced to a signi}cant extent. If this system turns out to be successful, AI will win the credit for solving one of the oldest problems faced by the modern society.
