The overarching objective of the project “Environmental Hazard Management Affecting Railway Traffic Safety” is to develop a methodology utilizing advanced computer tools and laser scanning technologies to collect data on forest stands located in proximity to railway lines, as well as to establish a management framework for trees and shrubs along railway corridors administered by PKP Polskie Linie Kolejowe S.A. (PKP PLK).

The Air Force Institute of Technology is responsible for the development of an interpretive IT system supporting the tree and shrub management methodology adjacent to railway lines overseen by PKP PLK. The solution will ensure compliance with legal obligations while addressing the necessity to adapt to climate change. The project activities aim to overcome technological and technical barriers by implementing cutting-edge, AI-based IT solutions that enable proactive environmental risk management in the vicinity of railway infrastructure. The developed system will also contribute to the advancement of innovative image recognition technologies.
From a societal perspective, the project will enhance railway traffic safety on lines managed by PKP PLK.
The project is being implemented in cooperation with the Warsaw University of Technology, Warsaw University of Life Sciences, the Air Force Institute of Technology, and the Polish Air Force University.
Project value: PLN 5,835,426.26
Funding received: PLN 2,917,713.13
Project duration: 3 years
The project is co-financed by the National Centre for Research and Development under the joint initiative “NCBR–PKP PLK S.A. for the Support of Scientific Research and Development Activities in the Field of Railway Infrastructure – BRIK II.”
