Development of Safety Check Support Device for Drivers Using Side Cameras on Rolling Stock

Abstract

This paper presents the development of a safety check support device aimed at further enhancing platform safety checks using side cameras installed on rolling stock. The device employs deep learning-based image processing techniques to detect passenger approach on platforms in real-time from camera footage, notifying the driver to assist with safety checks. Additionally, the device is equipped with automatic passenger counting functionality at each station. An overview of the developed device and the results of evaluation experiments are provided.
