Visual intelligence and connected event and video recording to enhance safety and operations
Rail vehicles including locomotives and self-propelled passenger trains have been equipped with event recorders for many years. Wi-Tronix provides the event recorder information along with additional inputs to the rail operator’s desktop or handheld device via wireless communications from the train via our back office. Additionally, Wi-Tronix has developed alert messages for high risk and inefficient operations based on these inputs. Addition of video inputs and the integration of video with event recorder data has improved the efficiency and accuracy of incident investigation. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Video Intelligence (VI) applications have been developed to provide additional value to the rail industry. Current applications include kilometre marker post validation, signal aspect recognition and level crossing ‘near hit’ identification. We foresee many additional applications for AI and VI in the future.
