Machine learning for safety related decisions in railway automation?
Despite the great deal of hype about artificial intelligence (AI), there is still no variant that can make completely automated safety-relevant decisions. Although there have been some advances in automotive technology, these concern either assistance systems or very limited operating scenarios, e.g. on motorways at low speeds and good weather. For railway automation, however, it is important to have algorithms that are allowed to make safety-relevant decisions automatically under all the boundary conditions, i.e....
