Improvement of Obstruction Detecting Method at Railroad Crossing by Image Analyze

Railroad Crossing Heterogeneous Model

Systems are getting more and more complex and usually involve many stakeholders. Stakeholders are concerned by different aspects of the system, potentially supported by multiple Domain Specific Modeling Languages (DSMLs). The DSMLs are usually different not only in their syntax but also in their behavioral semantics. In order to provide simulation and/or verification of the overall system, it i...

Visual Monitoring of Railroad Grade Crossing

There are approximately 261,000 rail crossings in the United States according to the studies by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). From 1993 to 1998, there were over 25,000 highway-rail crossing incidents involving motor vehicles averaging 4,167 incidents a year. In this paper, we present a real-time computer vision system for t...

ITS Sensor for Railroad Crossing Safety

Japan’s Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) project for safe and comfortable transpor­ tation is steadily progressing. To improve safety, information technology (IT) should be applied to most of Japan’s traffic environments. In response, the Fujitsu Group has installed IT equipment into motor vehicles in line with a government policy of using IT to bring transportation systems fully into the 21...
