Back in September 2019, the management of Russian Railways noted the key trends that are changing the overall appearance of the company’s railway transport and logistics. According to Evgeny Charkin, Director of Information Technologies at Russian Railways, the fundamental factors are automation, digitalization and artificial intelligence. And on October 5 of this year, an official statement was made about the introduction of software based on neural networks into the work of Russian Railways.
The innovative format of video surveillance at railway facilities provides a solution to various problems, the majority of which are directly related to marketing and security. We will talk about this today.
The annual passenger traffic of Russian Railways is about 1 billion 200 million people. Accordingly, the tasks of intelligent video surveillance include two main categories:
Detailed information on video surveillance in transport is available here.
The concept of “safety at Russian Railways” includes:
Facilities and zones of video monitoring are:
As a strategic facility, a train station can be divided into important video surveillance zones:
Artificial intelligence in Russian Railways allows for predictive video surveillance and situation analysis with minimal involvement of the human factor. In addition, the presence of cameras has a positive effect on the human psyche.
An analytical system for predicting the state of cars (quality and technical), as well as an accurate calculation of passenger traffic allows Russian Railways to:
Artificial intelligence (used in Russian Railways) is able to recognize objects, including people’s faces, keep white and black lists, track the movement of passenger traffic, classify it, and record the time spent in the surveillance area.
Due to the specifics of the field, the equipment for video recording and video analytics must meet the following requirements:
On October 10, 2020, according to TASS, a request was received from the Cabinet of Ministers of the Russian Federation to railway carriers: to provide all long-distance trains with video surveillance cameras. Mandatory surveillance areas should be: cars, vestibules and technical rooms.
The document was published on the official website.
The use of AI-based analytical video surveillance is recognized as an effective way to monitor compliance with production processes. Innovative video surveillance technologies at Russian Railways minimize the negative human factor, reduce the need for constant visual control, and increase the accuracy of the data obtained.
