Optical character recognition
For optical documentation and identification, the train is recorded with a specially developed camera system. The system requires only a small distance to the track (60 cm) and can thus also be installed between adjacent tracks in order to record traffic on neighbouring tracks without gaps.
Automated evaluation
Vehicles on public rail networks usually bear a UIC number. This is automatically recognised in the images and the vehicles are identified in this way. In closed, private networks, such as in mining, industrial parks or ports, there are also vehicles without a UIC. These vehicles can be provided with an affixed 2D code. This code is also automatically read and recognised from the images for identification.
More vehicle views
By default, a high-resolution side view image is generated for each vehicle for vehicle identification. The system and the IT infrastructure are designed to accommodate further views, which can be integrated if required. For example, a two-sided side view for all-round inspection or a view of the vehicle from above for visual level control is also possible.
High resolution images
The downstream image processing generates a high-resolution image of each individual vehicle. This allows numerous details to be recognised, such as lever and valve positions or damage and dirt.
Recordings up to 250km/h
With the appropriate configuration of the system, trains are sharply imaged up to a speed of 250 km/h and even in complete darkness.
