Safe AI on driverless regional trains

In the project safe.trAIn (Safe AI for driverless regional trains) explores the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in rail transport. The integration of AI with the safety aspects of rail transport is being put into practice using the example of driverless regional trains.

As part of this, test methods and tools for AI-based approaches are being researched, and a GoA4 system is being developed and validated in a virtual test bed.

ITQ GmbH has been tasked with developing robust evaluation methods to assess the explainability of AI-based object recognition solutions in the field of rail vehicles and other industrial applications.
