It is about time that the relevant authorities (Wildlife and Railways) gave up running behind 'technological solutions' that do not work. We need to develop a masterplan by getting data on where elephants cross tracks by tracking them with GPS collars and have the trains go slow at those places.

A few months ago I read about setting new high tech devices in railway engines and beside railway tracks to avoid this elephant hitting. It is high time to use a reliable and practical technical solution to avoid this elephant hitting.
