Research on train reception and departure system based on intelligent video analysis

Abstract

The train reception and departure time directly affects the performance of the passenger service system. However, the system in existing stations sometimes cannot accurately obtain the train arrival time because of train delay. This paper proposed a kind of informative linkage mechanism for train reception and departure system by fusing intelligent video processing techniques. By using surveillance cameras deployed in track turnout region, we can obtain the real-time image for monitoring the status of train operation. The images can be used for the further analysis for acquiring the position, arrival time, type and velocity of the train. Then the information can be sent to the passenger service system and fused with the information from the transporting dispatching management information system. The system proposed in this paper presents a kind of low cost solution for railway monitoring, which can effectively solve the problem of how to accurately get the arrival time through the linkage of the video monitoring system and of the passenger service system.
