Railway is a crucial component of public transportation worldwide, serving as a backbone for efficient and sustainable mobility. The EMSD is mindful of the importance of railway safety and reliable for every users, we collaborated with railway operators to carry out proof of concept projects using advanced detection and maintenance technologies. For example, the “Tramway Derailment and Collision Prevention System” is to develop a real-time detection and alert system for small foreign object trapping in tram track to
enhance operation safety of tramway. The “Semantic AI for preventive maintenance in Permanent Way of Railway System” is to exploit a wide range of railway data to identify the contributing factors, ranking and predict the incident probability for railway track system. This presentation will share the concerted effort of EMSD and the railway trade on promotion and adoption of various I&T applications on major railway systems, it helps paving for a safe and sustainable railways to the benefit of the whole community in HK.
