The Smart Event Tracking System (SETS), which is a new tool on Google Maps-based planning and analysis that has been deployed to tackle the growing problem of cattle getting run over by trains.
The Software has been made functional in Agra Division and it will be adopted by other divisions in the future, depending on further results. According to officials, the SETS map the kilometre stamps on electrical masts along the rail tracks and feed the exact location of a cattle run over into the system. As a result of this, managers are able to identify the location instantly where the cattle run over occurred as well as spot a pattern.
According to the report, the system is particularly important for the North Central RAILWAY zone, which saw more than 6,500 of the 26,000 cases of cattle run over that were recorded in the year 2020-21.
