Abstract:

This project aimed at improving the safety of railyard workers by increasing overall situational awareness. To accomplish this we research sensing technologies that can be used to detect objects, classify them, and localize them. Once localized, proximity of dangerous objects to railyard workers can be detected and alerts can be triggered. This project explored the use of vision-based systems as well as Software-Defined RADAR, in combination with each other, to provide observations reliably under a wide range of weather conditions. We conducted a large number of field tests using Software Defined RADAR at the Union Pacific Yard which the results have shown the tremendous potential in this approach. We also developed several signal processing approaches as part of the project effort. We look forward to further exploring this application, as well as other related applications for this technology. We would like to thank Union Pacific for all their assistance with this project.
