Mainline Automatic Train Horn

Research on mainline automatic train horns focuses on developing robust onboard perception systems capable of reliably detecting obstacles and triggering braking mechanisms, replacing human drivers. Current efforts concentrate on creating performance metrics to evaluate these systems, particularly focusing on obstacle detection sub-functions, and developing algorithms to improve the accuracy and reliability of these systems. This research is crucial for enhancing railway safety and efficiency, providing a standardized framework for comparing different perception systems and predicting accident rates.
