[0040] 2. Roadway monitoring subsystem
[0041] The intelligent monitoring subsystem for level crossings supports round-the-clock and non-blind-spot monitoring of the level crossing area. The videos are transmitted through a switch to a disk array server for storage, and real-time preview and playback are also available. 2 million spherical high-definition cameras with intelligent light-controlled LED compensation light sources are used at level crossings for AI image recognition at night. The images are uploaded to an AI image analysis server for analysis.
[0042] The intelligent monitoring subsystem for level crossings supports functions such as oncoming vehicle warning for level crossings, audible and visual alarms for intrusion / occupation of the road, and automatic barrier control. A vehicle-receiving camera is installed 150 meters away from the level crossing. When the vehicle-receiving camera detects an oncoming vehicle, the audible and visual alarm at the level crossing gives an oncoming vehicle warning, and the AI image recognition program starts. It continuously monitors whether there are any stranded people or vehicles inside the level crossing. If there are people or vehicles stranded inside the level crossing, the barrier will not close and an alarm will be triggered. The alarm information will be uploaded to the alarm function module of the platform, and the voice message "Crossing the boundary, please get off the road immediately" will be played. When the people have left, the barrier will be closed to isolate the track from the level crossing. After the vehicle has passed, the barrier will be opened for free passage.
[0043] If the distance between adjacent level crossings is too close, a linkage method is adopted for the vehicle-receiving and vehicle-passing functions of the level crossings, as specifically shown in Figure 2 the following.
