Project Introduction

Locomotive operation safety is the top priority of railway train safety. To ensure the safe operation of locomotives, onboard video surveillance systems have been installed successfully to electric and internal combustion locomotives, and the widespread use of this system has elevated the standard operation of locomotive crews to a new level. The general use of video monitoring systems has yielded a large amount of video monitoring data, which has become an essential basis for managing the locomotive system. Still, these video surveillance data have not yet been fully utilized as they should be.

At present, the use and analysis of these video data mainly rely on manual viewing, which is costly and inefficient in terms of labor and may also result in omissions due to human negligence. It is vital to deepen the identification and control of locomotive safety risks and strengthen the identification and management of hidden locomotive safety hazards.

System Overview

Our locomotive audio and video intelligent analysis system consists of an audio and video data analysis client, algorithm server, and storage server, which can realize automatic data upload, background analysis, and storage functions.

It realizes the use of 5G technology to achieve 1.7G high-speed vehicle-to-ground wireless communication in the 60GHZ millimeter-wave frequency band to transmit the onboard video to the ground, enabling the intelligent analysis system to analyze the violation points independently according to different strategies. The deployment of analytical algorithm servers in the Hoonan foldback section can support 38 vehicles and save 90 days of violation videos.

System Strength

The audio-video intelligent analysis management platform uses real-time video images for acquisition and analysis. It then carries out systematic data statistics and intelligent analysis to achieve a scientific evaluation of cabin crew. It has the following advantages over other video capture software.

1, Intelligent analysis

Able to accurately determine the real-time status of the steward, whether the violation, timely warning issued.

2, real-time storage of violation records

It is possible to record the status, duration, number of vehicles, vehicle number, and violation items of each violation in real-time and converge them into a trend chart, which is convenient for long-term status record analysis.

3. Intuitive interface

Software data statistics in detail can be found in a shorter time and deal with the relevant time.

Journey of Project

From the initial stages of understanding the client's unique requirements to final implementation, the journey was a mix of challenges and triumphs. TIENUO's team of dedicated experts worked closely with the client, taking into account their operational nuances and specific pain points. The project required extensive customization to align the system perfectly with the Hohhot Bureau's existing infrastructure and operational needs.

Project Challenge

The railway industry often grapples with the twin challenges of maintaining safety and ensuring efficient operations, especially in expansive and busy networks like that of the Hohhot Bureau. Introducing an advanced system such as ours in a complex and existing infrastructure is always a challenging task, as it requires minimal disruption to ongoing operations while ensuring seamless integration.

Conclusion

Feedback from the implementation section of the system solution in the Hohhot Bureau shows that the application is working well; it can strengthen the sense of responsibility, standardize the standardized work of the crew, in reducing personnel input, improve the efficiency of data analysis and effectively enhance locomotive safety and operational efficiency.
