Right-Time performance is key to railway customers having a good journey on the railways and fatalities are a major source of disruption. These incidents cause lines to be closed whilst British Transport Police (BTP) investigate and the railway is readied to reopen. TRUST data extracted by the National Disruption Fusion Unit of Network Rail (NR) show that, on average, there have been approximately 350 fatalities pa on GB railways causing 790,000 Delay Minutes pa, equating to 2,300 Delay Minutes per incident.Project partner Train Operating Company Avanti West Coast states that, after a suicide, services typically recover relatively quickly, but after an Unexplained fatality, services typically do not recover until the next day, disrupting passenger and freight journeys and reducing customer confidence in the railways.After a train encounters a fatality, the driver must report the incident to the NR signaller who informs BTP. BTP establish whether the incident was a "Suspected Suicide" or was "Unexplained" by interviewing the driver. If the driver did not have clear sight of the victim or is traumatised and cannot provide a reliable statement, then, if available, BTP can review the Forward-Facing Video of the event from the train.If the involvement of other parties cannot be ruled out, then BTP have to declare the incident Unexplained and, on average the requirement to treat the site as a crime scene, take witness statements and record the scene adds 1h45m (70%) to the time taken to resolve the incident.Declaring a fatality as a suicide can therefore depend on the Forward-Facing Video, but the limitations of the current Full High Definition standard of Forward-Facing Video cause quality problems. Recordings are notoriously poor in anything other than bright lighting, and real-life conditions (dark shadows on platforms, an overcast day or twilight) render footage unusable.In response, this project will use emergent 8K video technology, Cloud technology and advanced Artificial Intelligence image recognition to provide BTP with high quality video they can forensically analyse quickly. With better recordings, more incidents that would be judged as Unexplained due to current technology limitations, will correctly be deemed as suicides, reducing hand-back time and alleviating wider customer disruption.Our consortium, led by Rail Innovations, and comprising video software company One Big Circle Ltd, University of Surrey, Avanti West Coast and train owner Angel Trains Ltd, will apply innovative technologies and novel techniques to enable the deployment of 8K Forward-Facing Video.

准时的表现是铁路客户在铁路上享受美好旅程的关键，而死亡是中断的主要来源。这些事件导致线路关闭，同时英国交通警察（BTP）进行调查，铁路准备重新开放。TRUST数据提取的国家网络铁路（NR）的中断融合单位显示，平均而言，有大约350人死亡的GB铁路造成790，000延误分钟pa，相当于2，300延误分钟每一个事件。项目合作伙伴列车运营公司Avanti西海岸指出，自杀后，服务通常恢复相对较快，但在一个原因不明的死亡，服务通常要到第二天才能恢复，从而扰乱客运和货运旅程并降低客户对铁路的信心。火车发生死亡事故后，司机必须向NR信号员报告事件，并由NR信号员通知BTP。BTP通过采访司机来确定事件是“疑似自杀”还是“无法解释”。如果司机没有清楚地看到受害者或受到创伤，无法提供可靠的陈述，那么，如果可用，BTP可以从火车上查看事件的前向视频。如果不能排除其他方的参与，那么BTP必须宣布事件无法解释，并且平均要求将现场视为犯罪现场，记录目击者的证词和现场记录会增加1小时45分钟（70%）的时间来解决事件。因此，将死亡事件宣布为自杀可能依赖于前向视频，但当前前向视频的全高清标准的限制会导致质量问题。众所周知，除了明亮的灯光之外，任何地方的记录都很差，而现实生活中的条件（平台上的阴影，阴天或黄昏）使镜头无法使用。为了应对这一问题，该项目将使用新兴的8K视频技术，云技术和先进的人工智能图像识别，为BTP提供高质量的视频，以便他们能够快速进行取证分析。有了更好的记录，更多由于当前技术限制而被判断为无法解释的事件将被正确地视为自杀，减少了回拨时间并减轻了更广泛的客户中断。我们的联盟由Rail Innovations领导，包括视频软件公司One Big Circle Ltd，萨里大学，Avanti West Coast和列车所有者Angel Trains Ltd，将采用创新技术和新技术来实现8K前向视频的部署。
