Our Knowledgeshare Sessions invite stakeholders to share knowledge, insights and learnings.
This session focused on the use of Artificial Intelligence to improve public safety and suicide prevention on the rail network, including rail projects at Transport for London and Network Rail (UK) that are using artificial intelligence in suicide and trespass prevention and to improve safety on and around rail stations. How Metro Trains Melbourne and the Department of Transport Victoria are using artificial intelligence to improve the safe and efficient operation of level crossings. We also hear about research results by Black Dog Institute, investigating public opinion and acceptability of the use of artificial intelligence to protect public safety in public places.
