Once indicators of distress are detected, trains can be signaled to slow down and someone could go up to the person in need and offer help, according to the Société de transport de Montréal.
A pilot project is being developed that would use artificial intelligence to scan CCTV footage in the Metro to detect certain warning signs that an individual may be in distress. Daybreak host Sean Henry spoke with Brian Mishara, the director of the Center for Suicide Intervention, or CRISE, to learn more about how this technology would work.
