A Machine Learning Based Drone Surveillance for Safer Railways
摘要
Severe compromise is brought to integrity and functionality of the rail systems problems like, inoperable tracks, poor welds and unseen blocking. The inspection methods used presently are extremely time-consuming as they are primarily manual and yield no real-time data about what is happening, particularly towards directions that are way gone and out of reach. The system to be proposed is an drone-based solution for railway track monitoring to detect anomalies like cracks, welding flaws, and blockages in real-time. AI models such as YOLO and high-resolution camera-enabled drones capture data across different environments, and detected problems are geotagged. Hybrid 4G/5G and LoRa network ensures fault-tolerant data transmission. A Real-time dashboard displays and indicates anomalies and actionable insights. The system is better in terms of maintenance efficiency by monitoring the railway precisely, scalable, and reliably.
