Lancaster University , its AI models are utilised to identify people at risk of committing suicide on the railways .

Three separate AI-enabled technologies identify and assess individuals at risk , alerting staff , mental health professionals and the police while offering actionable advice on response .

Involvement of Cisco Country Digitisation Acceleration ( Cisco CDA ) – Cisco ’ s on-going initiative to drive digitalisation across public and private sectors – will help Project SAIVE to address the prevalent issue of suicide prevention on railways , as well as passenger safety and rail productivity . Beyond the immediate challenges of disruption , replacement services and penalties , the project aims to mitigate the immense trauma experienced by train drivers , station personnel and on-lookers .

Purple Transform focuses on developing technology to improve human outcomes , and with Project SAIVE , in collaboration with

“ Cisco is proud to be working with Purple Transform and Lancaster University on such a crucial project to leverage digital tools like AI to empower a rapid , compassionate response – minimising harm and offering support to those at risk ,” said Tom Kneen , CTO Office and Head of Country Digital Acceleration , Cisco UK & Ireland . “ Project SAIVE isn ’ t just about protecting infrastructure ; it ’ s about protecting people .”

ETN , a leading independent global network services provider , has announced a 900 kilometre backbone upgrade in Denmark and Sweden , that will boost connectivity between Copenhagen and Stockholm .

Utilising Infinera ’ s cutting-edge equipment , the deployment of the latest-generation EDFA and Raman amplifiers specifically optimised for modern flex-grid DWDM systems , increases configuration flexibility , accelerates implementation and improves reliability .

“ The switch to a modern flex-grid generation system enhances Spectrum efficiency and allows for higher bandwidth , in a route engineered to accommodate vast data capacities . These enhancements cater to the surging demand for high-capacity , secure and reliable Internet and data services , and offer additional supplier diversity . We look forward to adding new routes in the region ,” said Timur Pertenava , Commercial Director of Nordic and Baltics at RETN .

The upgrade introduces additional redundancy across the Copenhagen Metro area and reinforces network resilience between Copenhagen – Stockholm and existing routes between Copenhagen – Hamburg .

It establishes a more direct and efficient route between Malmö and Copenhagen via the Øresundsbron , the iconic bridge connecting Denmark and Sweden , thereby eliminating the need for subsea cables .

To further bolster reliability , RETN has reduced the amplifier count from 10 to nine by utilising more powerful units , diminishing potential failure points and lowering power consumption .
