Old-Fashioned Asset Classification

How is inventory management done in railways in the current situation?

- The railway is being taken out of service.

- The assets are counted by the persons in charge on a catenary maintanence vehicle which moves slowly on the railway, and the location of the asset is marked with a GNSS receiver.

- If the total length of the line is small, it's okay, but when it's more than 5000km, it becomes a very laborious job. The total line length of TCDD is 12,780 km. Closing and inventorying the line is a costly and time-consuming task.

- That's why our client is very interested in the TVISION project we propose.

Computer Based Asset Classification

What solution does our proposed system provide?

- High quality video of the railway line is recorded simultaneously with GPS coordinate information.
- The recorded video is applied to the previously trained deep learning model, and the assets are classified and listed together with the GPS positions corresponding to that point.
- Our aim is just an inventory list? Of course not, let's say it's time for maintenance on the switch motor. The system automatically issues a maintenance form that will include the asset's name, identification number, GPS coordinates and a frame picture in the video. It is very easy for the stuff to find the asset in the light of this information.
