What to expect?
In this ERCI Webinar you will learn about two innovative real-time AI applications in the rail sector.
PHOENIX AI (Belgium) unveils an innovative system designed to significantly enhance data collection for the ports and railways industries. Utilizing advanced Edge AI technology combined with Optical Character Detection (OCD) and Optical Character Recognition (OCR), this solution empowers existing CCTV cameras to function as real-time, automated readers of critical wagon information. The system operates on a compact edge computing device equipped with an integrated NVIDIA GPU. This device connects to standard CCTV cameras positioned to view passing trains. As trains move by, the Edge AI processes the video feed locally and in real-time, automatically detecting and reading vital alphanumeric data directly from the wagons. Key information captured is instantly available on a wagon basis and per field via the PHOENIX AI's edge AI API.
LAT (Germany) is an electrical service company for mobility related services, including (cable) construction for railroad tracks and passenger safety systems for public transport. They are testing Robot-assisted survey of subway tunnels using mobile robotics and real-time artificial intelligence (real-time AI) to create a digital twin for predictive maintenance management. Project partners are RWTH Aachen University (lead), Institute for Construction Management, Digital Engineering, and Robotics in Construction (ICoM), Department of Sustainable Systems Engineering (INATECH), University of Freiburg, albert.ing GmbH, ISAC GmbH and StatSoft GmbH.
