IREX is Leading the Charge in Railway, Metro & Subway Safety

Transforming Public Transportation Safety

IREX.ai has emerged as the world leader in railway, metro, and subway safety solutions by leveraging cutting-edge AI technology to address life-threatening events and enhance station security. Here’s how IREX.ai’s technology stands out and makes a profound impact:

1. Advanced Detection of Life-Threatening Events

IREX.ai’s platform is designed to detect and respond to critical situations such as people falling onto the tracks. This is achieved through:

High-Resolution Video Analytics: The system uses high-definition cameras equipped with AI-driven analytics to monitor tracks and platforms continuously. These cameras can detect unusual movements, such as individuals falling onto the tracks, with remarkable precision.

Real-Time Alerts: When the system identifies a person on the tracks, it triggers instant alerts to station operators and emergency services. This rapid response capability is crucial in mitigating potential accidents and ensuring a swift intervention.

Predictive Analysis: IREX.ai’s algorithms analyze historical data to identify patterns and predict potential incidents. For instance, if a platform experiences an average of 8 track intrusion events per year, the system can proactively monitor and adjust its sensitivity to detect similar incidents more effectively.

2. Loitering Detection & Suicide Prevention

IREX.ai goes beyond track safety by focusing on preventing suicides and self-harm incidents through:

Loitering Detection: The technology includes modules that monitor for unusual or suspicious behavior in known high-risk areas of stations and around tracks. By identifying individuals who loiter in these sensitive zones, the system can flag potential suicide attempts before they escalate.

Behavioral Analysis: The AI models are trained to recognize behaviors indicative of distress or intent to harm oneself. This allows the system to differentiate between normal passenger activity and behaviors that warrant further investigation.

Enhanced Response Mechanisms: When a potential threat is detected, the system automatically notifies station personnel and mental health professionals. This ensures that immediate support and intervention can be provided to individuals in crisis, reducing the likelihood of tragic outcomes.

3. Integrative Safety Measures

IREX.ai’s solution integrates with existing station infrastructure to enhance overall safety:

Seamless Integration: The platform is designed to work in harmony with existing CCTV systems and station operations, providing an additional layer of safety without disrupting current processes.

Data-Driven Insights: The system generates valuable data and insights that help station managers and security teams to refine their safety protocols and improve response strategies.

By addressing both immediate threats and long-term security challenges, IREX.ai has set a new standard for safety in public transportation systems globally. Its innovative technology not only enhances the safety of passengers but also contributes to the overall efficiency and reliability of railway, metro, and subway operations.

This approach has solidified IREX.ai’s position as a leader in transportation safety, demonstrating its commitment to safeguarding lives and enhancing public confidence in rail and metro systems. See below the future of IREX in rail and metro systems.
