Abstract:Railway crossings are critical elements of railway safety due to the heightened risk of collisions. Transportation agencies and researchers are continuously working to enhance safety at railway crossings with better operating procedures and equipment to avoid accidents. Many innovative methods have been proposed to detect hazards at crossings and rail tracks using technologies such as sensors, computer vision, depth cameras, and many others. However, there is still a need to develop a holistic approach that is robust and generalizable to the many conditions and hazards related to grade crossing accidents. This project investigates Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Deep Learning (DL) models to monitor grade crossings and detect various hazardous conditions such as vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, animals, warning lights, and others. To achieve that, the methodology consists of (1) collecting visual data of railway crossings; (2) labeling the data for training; and (3) developing a computer vision model using deep learning that can detect hazardous conditions at railway crossings. Ultimately, the outcomes of this research support modernizing and improving safety at crossings.
