Yeah, HORUS is an AI based system
with an array of visual and other

{{00:00:18}}
sensors to provide object detection
and localization of trains as

{{00:00:24}}
they travel around the network.

{{00:00:25}}
That information gets passed on
inference computer, which is running

{{00:00:29}}
all of the AI neural networks.

{{00:00:31}}
The main benefit of the Advanced Driver
Advisory System, including HORUS, it

{{00:00:36}}
provides a never get tired system to
allow and give the driver information

{{00:00:42}}
in all adverse situations where the
driver may get bored, may get distracted,

{{00:00:48}}
may lose situational awareness.

{{00:00:50}}
And the system itself passes on that
information and alerts the driver at

{{00:00:54}}
an appropriate time such to draw their
awareness to a potential hazard ahead,

{{00:00:59}}
which allows the driver to then interact.

{{00:01:09}}
Yeah, AI is an extremely important part,
not just from a driver perspective,

{{00:01:13}}
but also providing the ability to move
rail into the modern environment of

{{00:01:19}}
taking infrastructure away from the
track, making it safer for maintenance

{{00:01:24}}
teams to not have to be in harm's way,
and do all and perform all or most

{{00:01:29}}
of the maintenance back at the depot.

{{00:01:31}}
That's the big benefit of, HORUS.

{{00:01:42}}
Yeah cybersecurity is an extremely
important part of the development

{{00:01:46}}
and design of the system.

{{00:01:48}}
All cybersecurity standards are adhered
to as part of the initial design and

{{00:01:54}}
R&D of the device all the way through
to the fully deployed environment,

{{00:01:59}}
both from a network level and at a
device level, and also ensuring that

{{00:02:03}}
all data stored on board is secure.

{{00:02:13}}
Yeah the biggest challenge is trying
to remove that fear away from the

{{00:02:17}}
investment that AI is not only able to
support an operating environment, it's

{{00:02:23}}
safe and to adopt it now and grow it
now allows the business to grow with

{{00:02:28}}
the ever changing AI operation and how
you apply it within your environment.

{{00:02:41}}
Yeah look AI, it's certainly a
big campaign at the moment about

{{00:02:45}}
AI having an impact on jobs.

{{00:02:47}}
We see it as one, it will help the
industry move forward currently

{{00:02:52}}
and improve job performance
of all of our rail operators.

{{00:02:57}}
But also we see that AI will just
change the types of skills and

{{00:03:02}}
how you work with the environment.

{{00:03:04}}
Over all industrial revolutions,
it's never, we've never seen a

{{00:03:08}}
loss in a total number of jobs.

{{00:03:11}}
We've just seen a change or a shift
in skill sets and what the type

{{00:03:15}}
of working environment is like.

{{00:03:17}}
And we see AI as no different to that.

{{00:03:19}}
Because it will enhance the working
environment and also increase the

{{00:03:23}}
opportunity for different types of jobs.

{{00:03:33}}
I see AI and rail expanding more.

{{00:03:36}}
Not just from an implementation in
the cab and helping the drivers, but

{{00:03:40}}
also integration with existing train
control systems, like CBTC and ETCS.

{{00:03:45}}
To provide more onboard systems,
removing that on track infrastructure,

{{00:03:52}}
as I've mentioned before.

{{00:03:54}}
And also the adoption of more AI based
infrastructure monitoring of both

{{00:04:00}}
track and below rail infrastructure.

{{00:04:04}}
And ballast bed environments.
