Monitoring system for train

A method for monitoring a train, the method comprising:

• receiving, by a controller, a video feed of a designated area associated with the train from an image capturing device;
• analyzing, by the controller, the video feed to determine if a predefined triggering event has occurred, the predefined triggering event preceding a predefined rail event;
• recording and storing, by the controller, a relevant section of the video feed in response to determining that the predefined triggering event has occurred, the relevant section of the video feed having a predefined length;
• determining a priority type of the predefined triggering even that occurred, the priority type being one of a low priority, a medium priority and a high priority;
• pushing, by the controller, a notification of the recorded and stored relevant section of the video feed to a user on a user interface immediately upon determining the priority type of the predefined triggering event that occurred is of high priority;
• pushing, by the controller, the notification of the recorded and stored relevant section of the video feed to the user on the user interface once a period of time has elapsed after determining the priority type of the predefined triggering event that occurred is of medium priority or low priority;
• and
• enabling, by the controller, access by the user to at least a portion of the recorded and stored relevant section of the video feed through interaction with the notification on the user interface.

A train comprising:

• an engine;
• and
• a monitoring system comprising:
• an image capturing device configured to capture a video feed of a designated area associated with the train;
• and
• a controller coupled to the image capturing device, the controller configured to:
• receive the video feed from the image capturing device;
• analyze the video feed to determine if a predefined triggering event has occurred, the predefined triggering event preceding a predefined rail event;
• record and store a relevant section of the video feed in response to determining that the predefined triggering event has occurred, the relevant section of the video feed having a predefined length;
• push a notification of the recorded and stored relevant section of the video feed to a user on a user interface immediately upon determining the priority type of the predefined triggering event that occurred is of high priority;
• push the notification of the recorded and stored relevant section of the video feed to the user on the user interface once a period of time has elapsed after determining the priority type of the predefined trigger event that occurred is of medium priority or low priority;
• and
• enable access by the user to at least a portion of the recorded and stored relevant section of the video feed through interaction with the notification on the user interface.
