The invention discloses a
level crossing early warning method and
system, and solves the problems of low
level crossing safety early warning precision, misjudgment risk and low safety and passing efficiency in the prior art, and the method comprises the steps: carrying out the real-time monitoring of a
level crossing far-end incoming
train monitoring region and a level crossing site, and obtaining an incoming
train signal; performing time-space correlation modeling based on a
train coming
signal, obtaining an image of a wheel and rail contact area, performing wheel-rail contact point
feature extraction, and obtaining dynamic features of the wheel and rail contact area; according to the motion trail and the spatial
constraint relation of the rails, train information and the
motion direction are recognized; and when the train coming
signal is matched with the identified train movement direction, a train approaching confirmation signal is generated, and train approaching early warning is carried out. The
system integrates multi-source information, has a far-end early warning capability, can recheck coming vehicle information and perceive the site state of the crossing in real time so as to perform intelligent cooperative control, and improves the safety and passing efficiency of the level crossing.
