SIH 2026 – PS 26027 | AI-Powered Automatic Block Planning | Indian Railways

🚆 *Smart India Hackathon (SIH) 2026 – Project Submission* *Problem Statement (PS): 26027* *Project Title:* AI-Powered Automatic Block Planning to Maximize Asset Availability for Train Operations on Indian Railways *Team Name:* Aqua Vigil *Team ID:* 124869 *Institute Name:* Gyan Ganga Institute of Technology and Sciences *Team Leader:* Tarendra Rajak --- 📌 About the Project This project proposes an AI-powered automatic block planning system designed to optimize maintenance block scheduling and maximize asset availability for train operations on Indian Railways. The system aims to integrate maintenance requirements from multiple departments, including Engineering, Traction Distribution, and Signalling & Telecommunications (S&T), into a unified planning framework. By leveraging AI-driven scheduling, operational data, and intelligent conflict resolution, the proposed solution seeks to minimize disruptions to train operations, improve coordination among departments, and enhance the utilization and availability of railway assets. 🎯 Key Objectives Automate and optimize railway maintenance block scheduling. Coordinate maintenance requirements across multiple departments. Reduce scheduling conflicts and minimize disruption to train operations. Improve asset availability and maintenance planning efficiency. Enable data-driven decision-making through a unified planning platform. 💡 Proposed Solution The proposed platform aims to provide a centralized and intelligent system for planning, coordinating, and optimizing railway maintenance blocks while balancing maintenance needs with train operations. 🏆 Submission Details *Hackathon:* Smart India Hackathon (SIH) 2026 *Problem Statement ID:* 26027 *Domain:* Indian Railways *Project:* AI-Powered Automatic Block Planning This video is submitted as part of our SIH 2026 project submission. --- #SIH2026 #SmartIndiaHackathon #PS26027 #IndianRailways #AI #RailwayInnovation #SmartRailways #BlockPlanning
