Southeastern is set to integrate Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the construction of a new fleet of trains aimed at enhancing level boarding. This initiative is part of a broader plan to replace aging rolling stock that has been in service for over 30 years. The new trains will serve the Metro network, connecting key locations in Greater London and surrounding areas.
The collaboration with Network Rail and Cordel will utilize advanced sensor technology to create 3D models of station platforms, addressing accessibility challenges. AI will analyze platform dimensions to facilitate easier boarding for passengers with mobility issues, luggage, or pushchairs. This strategic move is expected to provide essential data to train manufacturers, supporting the vision for a more reliable and sustainable railway system.
