Safety Control of the Use of Technical Vision Systems on Hump Humps

Sorting humps are used for forming railway trains. Automation of sorting humps can increase processing capacity and operational safety. The introduction of technical vision systems has been widely used in recent years. Technical vision systems make it possible to solve tasks that were previously impossible to automate. For example, to determine the number of cars in a cut on the hump of a hump yards, a system based on the recognition of wheel pairs, automatic coupling devices and car numbers is used. The purpose of this article is to consider the issue of using technical vision systems on hump humps. An important aspect in the implementation of technical vision systems is functional safety. To solve functional safety issues, it is proposed to integrate information obtained from different sources, primarily from technical vision systems and grassroots sensors. This allows us to ensure the required level of functional safety and generally increase the speed and accuracy of the system.
