Heywood, Greater Manchester, UK – A Heywood-based manufacturer is set to play a pivotal role in the future of international transport safety with the launch of a new artificial intelligence system designed for driverless rail networks. GJD Manufacturing has announced that its cutting-edge detection technology is expected to hit the market in 2026. The system addresses one of the most significant safety hurdles facing the automated rail industry: the risk of objects or passengers falling into the gap between the train carriage and the platform. The system utilises a sophisticated combination of high-tech sensors and A.I. to monitor the platform edge. Crucially, the company states the A.I. is trained to distinguish genuine hazards from environmental interference—such as light reflections, shadows, or adverse weather—which frequently trigger false alarms in existing systems. By minimising these, "false positives", the technology aims to improve passenger safety while drasti...
