Laser-Based Obstacle Detection at Railway Level Crossings [PDF]
Journal of Sensors, 2016 This paper presents a system for obstacle detection in railway level crossings from 3D point clouds acquired with tilting 2D laser scanners. Although large obstacles in railway level crossings are detectable with current solutions, the detection of small obstacles remains an open problem.

Near-Miss Event Detection at Railway Level Crossings [PDF]
2014 International Conference on Digital Image Computing: Techniques and Applications (DICTA), 2014 Recent modelling of socio-economic costs by the Australian railway industry in 2010 has estimated the cost of level crossing accidents to exceed AU$116 million annually. To better understand the causal factors of these accidents, a video analytics application is being developed to automatically detect near- miss incidents using forward facing videos ...

IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2019 Abstract A high number of accidents in railway level crossing causes loss of life and material. Furthermore, the losses are also experienced by users of traffic on the highway such as disturbance in the form of delay which can lead to increase the length of travel time where the vehicle will stop, and give impact to the emergency queue ...
