OPTIMIZATION OF COMMERCIAL INSPECTION OF FREIGHT ROLLING STOCK BY DEVELOPING A PORTABLE COMPACT CAR VIDEO MONITORING SYSTEM

Abstract

The article discusses the problem of low efficiency of the procedure for conducting a commercial inspection of freight railway rolling stock due to the need to carry out this kind of work at height, which requires employees to have a special work permit. The relevance of this issue is confirmed by the factor of reduced efficiency when receiving and sending cargo, which entails unnecessary economic, time and labor costs for the Russian Railways holding company. As a solution, the development of a portable compact video monitoring system for the inspection of loaded and empty cars with the introduction of artificial intelligence has been proposed. This device will allow for commercial inspection of cars when accepting goods for transportation in order to clean the car and the remains of previously transported goods, as well as loaded open rolling stock to check compliance with conditions placement and securing of cargo remotely, without lifting to the height of the cargo and baggage receiver or other employees of transport companies involved in the procedure for preparing rolling stock for transportation. The advantages of the technical characteristics of the device being developed within the Russian market segment are considered.
