Revolutionizing Rail Safety with Roller-Based Obstacle Deflectors Introduction Train accidents involving animals and humans on railway tracks remain a significant safety issue, particularly in areas where railways intersect wildlife habitats or densely populated regions. Traditional obstacle deflectors focus primarily on clearing obstacles to maintain operational efficiency.

Revolutionizing Rail Safety with Roller-Based Obstacle Deflectors Introduction Train accidents involving animals and humans on railway tracks remain a significant safety issue, particularly in areas where railways intersect wildlife habitats or densely populated regions. Traditional obstacle deflectors focus primarily on clearing obstacles to maintain operational efficiency. However, these devices often disregard the impact they have on the lives of those involved, whether they are humans or animals. This project proposes an innovative solution: a roller-based obstacle deflector designed to minimize injuries while ensuring the smooth functioning of railways. This device aims to reduce the force of collisions and redirect obstacles safely, prioritizing safety and humane treatment. Conceptual Design Objectives The primary objectives of the roller-based obstacle deflector are: To minimize injuries to humans and animals during collisions. To ensure obstacles are safely redirected away from the tracks. To maintain railway operational efficiency without compromising safety. Design Features The obstacle deflector is equipped with cushioning polyethylene rollers that absorb impact energy and reduce the force of collisions. These rollers are strategically positioned to redirect obstacles sideways off the tracks. The design is tailored to handle collisions with humans, cattle, and even large animals like elephants, especially at speeds up to 30 km/h. The design process was carried out using CATIA software, adhering to the specifications of Indian Railways. The rollers are engineered to be durable, lightweight, and highly energy-absorbent, ensuring both efficiency and effectiveness.
