The invention discloses a rail transit operation safety online real-time monitoring and early warning management cloud platform based on artificial intelligence. The platform comprises a region division module, an image acquisition module, an image preprocessing module, a turnout model detection module, a switch rail contact area detection module, an orbital transfer speed detection module, an orbital transfer dynamic transverse stress detection module, a wheel set inner side distance detection module, a modeling analysis server, a database, a management server, an early warning module and a display terminal. Through real-time detection of the running speed, the transverse stress borne by a railway turnout, the wheel set inner side distance and the contact area of a switch rail and a slide plate during rail transfer when a train passes through the railway turnout of each detection sub-region, a rail transfer safety influence coefficient is analyzed, and the safety condition of each detection sub-region during rail transfer can be visually displayed. The safety detection efficiency and accuracy during rail transfer of the train are improved, the labor cost is reduced, and the use safety of the railway turnout is guaranteed.
