Bill > HR3647

This bill directs the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) to conduct a comprehensive study on using artificial intelligence (AI) enabled sensors as a safety measure at rail crossings within one year of enactment. The study will include a review of existing AI sensor pilot programs and deployments, a cost-benefit analysis comparing AI sensors with other safety measures like grade separations, and the identification of best practices for implementing these sensors. The Administrator of the FRA is required to publish the study results and recommendations within 30 days of completing the research, making the findings available to federal, state, tribal, and local governmental entities that regulate rail crossing safety, as well as private entities responsible for maintaining safety technology at rail crossings. The bill, known as the "SAFE CROSS Act," aims to explore innovative technological approaches to reducing pedestrian and traffic accidents at railroad crossings by leveraging AI-enabled sensor technology.
