In the railway field, the shortage of railway drivers and maintenance workers has become a problem, particularly serious for local railways where the business environment is experiencing difficult conditions. Therefore, further efficiency and labor saving of operations are required, and installation of automatic operation to general routes is being considered. Among them, safety measures at level crossings which the points of contact with road traffic are considered indispensable to ensure safety on train tracks. Therefore, we think important to detect crossing rod breakage that blocks road traffic when the train approaches, and we report about the studying of detection method using image analysis by color element.
