A track intrusion detection system for detecting the presence of human intruders in the path of a railway vehicle. The track intrusion detection system comprises at least one track module in communication with at least one server. Each of the at least one track modules comprises at least two sensors 202A, 202B stacked vertically above the path of the railway vehicle – a first and a second of the at least two sensors being positioned at different heights. The at least one server analyses data received from each of the at least one track modules to detect if human intruders are in the path of the railway vehicle. The at least two sensors may be LIDAR sensors adapted to detect the distance of the human intruders. The track intrusion detection system may further feature a pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera configured for automatic steering to confirm the detection of the human intruders.
