Abstract

Autonomous driving train is an important component in the future rail transit system, as it can greatly improve the efficiency and safety of train operation. The most critical part in self-driving train is the active perception, due to the fact there’s no active sensing system in the existing train control systems today, we hereby develop a “Train Intelligent Detection System” (“TIDS”) to achieve reliable and real-time capable environment perception. The TIDS system consists three modules to simulate the real-world transit environment. The first module is to recognize the rail area by using semantic segmentation. In the second module, a convolutional neural network (“CNN”) is used to identify the train in the image. We then use the third module to judge if the identified train affects normal train operation on the recognized rail area. The detection result of TIDS system has been tested in multiple real-world scenarios including but not limited to tunnel and turnouts environment, the results so far have been stable and positive.
