Monitoring various activities at a railway station using CCTV cameras involves a combination of object detection, tracking, and analysis algorithms. Here's a complete workflow for each activity and the corresponding algorithms that can be used:
1. Maintenance and Repairs Monitoring:
Workflow:
a. CCTV cameras capture video feeds of maintenance and repair areas.
b. Apply object detection (e.g., YOLO or Faster R-CNN) to identify maintenance personnel and equipment.
c. Implement object tracking (e.g., SORT or DeepSORT) to track the movement of personnel and equipment.
d. Analyze the data to ensure scheduled maintenance tasks are completed on time.
e. Set up alerts for unauthorized access to restricted areas.
2. Cleaning and Sanitation Monitoring:
Workflow:
a. CCTV cameras cover areas prone to littering and spills.
b. Use custom-trained object detection models to identify cleanliness issues in real-time.
c. Deploy cleaning staff to address detected issues promptly.
d. Monitor cleaning staff movements using object tracking algorithms.
e. Ensure cleanliness standards compliance.
3. Security Patrols Monitoring:
Workflow:
a. Cameras capture security personnel's patrol routes.
b. Implement object tracking to monitor the paths of security personnel during patrols.
c. Analyze the data to ensure predefined patrol routes are followed.
d. Use anomaly detection algorithms to trigger alerts if security personnel deviate from their routes.
4. Passenger Assistance Monitoring:
Workflow:
a. CCTV cameras cover assistance points and service counters.
b. Apply object detection to identify the presence of station staff.
c. Monitor response times to passenger inquiries.
d. Ensure station staff availability during peak hours.
5. Cargo and Freight Handling Monitoring:
Workflow:
a. Cameras cover freight yards and cargo loading areas.
b. Use object detection to monitor the movement of cargo containers and vehicles.
c. Track cargo loading and unloading times.
d. Ensure efficient logistics operations.
6. Equipment Maintenance Monitoring:
Workflow:
a. Cameras cover maintenance and servicing areas for railway equipment.
b. Implement object tracking and maintenance scheduling algorithms to track equipment servicing.
c. Ensure that maintenance tasks are performed as scheduled.
7. Ticketing and Fare Collection Monitoring:
Workflow:
a. CCTV cameras cover ticketing counters and fare collection gates.
b. Apply object detection to monitor queue lengths and congestion at counters.
c. Analyze fare collection data for irregularities.
d. Set up alerts for potential fare evasion or ticketing issues.
8. Platform Safety Monitoring:
Workflow:
a. Cameras cover platform areas.
b. Use crowd density estimation algorithms to monitor platform congestion.
c. Trigger alerts when overcrowding occurs.
d. Ensure passenger safety on platforms.
9. Record Keeping and Incident Logging:
Workflow:
a. Cameras capture incidents and activities.
b. Implement automated record-keeping systems to log incidents, maintenance activities, and security-related events.
c. Maintain a detailed log of all relevant activities and events for future reference and compliance.
