Drone Monitoring Project

Drones will now monitor railway projects, aid in crowd management and oversee maintenance work across its zones, railway officials said today.

Drones will be used at West Australian (WA) beaches on a three month trial to monitor shark activity and spot other dangers such as rips and schools of baitfish which attract the predators.

Indian Railways has used drones for the first time for inspecting a mega rail project to assess the progress on the ground. It would now be used to monitor other under-construction schemes.

The Railways plan to use the latest drone and Geo Spatial-based satellite technology for remotely reviewing the physical progress across major projects, which would become operational in the next fiscal.

The National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) is awaiting a final nod from the Ministry of Defence to start its ambitious drone monitoring project for combating wildlife poaching and man-animal conflict.
