Reducing Fatality Disruptions with 8K Forward Facing CCTV Optimised for Remote Access

正确的时间表现是铁路客户在铁路上顺利旅行的关键，而事故是造成中断的主要原因。这些事件导致线路关闭，同时英国交通警察(BTP)正在调查，铁路已准备好重新开放。由网络铁路(NR)国家中断融合单位提取的信任数据显示，英国铁路平均约有350起死亡事件，造成79万分钟的延误，相当于每个事件2300分钟。项目合作伙伴列车运营公司Avanti West Coast表示，自杀后，服务通常恢复得相对较快，但在原因不明的死亡事件后，服务通常要到第二天才能恢复，扰乱客运和货运行程，并降低客户对铁路的信心。列车遇到死亡后，司机必须向NR信号员报告该事件，由后者通知BTP。BTP通过询问司机来确定这起事件是“疑似自杀”还是“无法解释”。如果司机看不清受害者或受到精神创伤，无法提供可靠的陈述，那么，如果有的话，BTP可以从火车上查看事件的正面视频。如果不能排除其他各方的参与，那么BTP必须宣布事件原因不明，平均而言，将现场视为犯罪现场、记录证人证词和记录现场的要求增加了1小时45M(70%)的时间。因此，将死亡宣布为自杀可能取决于正面视频，但当前全高清正面视频标准的限制会导致质量问题。众所周知，除了明亮的光线外，录制效果很差，现实生活条件(平台上的黑暗阴影、阴天或黄昏)使镜头无法使用。作为回应，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提供他们可以快速取证分析的高质量视频。随着更好的录制，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，从而缩短交接时间并缓解更广泛的客户中断。我们的财团由Rail Innovation领导，由视频软件公司One Big Circle Ltd、萨里大学、阿凡蒂西海岸和火车所有者Angel Trains Ltd组成，将应用创新技术和新技术来部署8K Forward Video。

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.
