South Central Railway (SCR) GM Arun Kumar Jain has launched the ‘Alpha Inspector’ Application - a web and mobile platform leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) and GPS technologies.

Designed to enhance chief loco inspectors’ efficiency, the application automates movement tracking and record-keeping, reducing manual workload.

It provides real-time access to loco pilot (LP) and assistant loco pilot (ALP) operational data, enabling quicker responses to anomalies at divisional and zonal levels.

Earlier, he held a video conference with his divisional managers where he reiterated that safety is paramount in railway operations, emphasising strict adherence to safety protocols and the avoidance of shortcut methods.

Special emphasis was placed on safety measures at road under bridges (RUBs) and level crossings, with instructions to install at least two height gauges at all RUBs to enhance track safety.
