Abstract
A system for monitoring a level crossing, wherein the system includes at least one imaging sensor configured to capture a plurality of images of the level crossing and a processor communicably coupled to the at least one imaging sensor. Moreover, the processor is configured to receive the plurality of images from the at least one imaging sensor, determine a level of a railway track and a level of a road by processing the plurality of images, and identify a level-fault when a difference between the level of the railway track and the level of the road exceeds a predetermined level-tolerance. The present disclosure also proposes a method for monitoring a level crossing.

A system for monitoring a level crossing, the system comprising at least one imaging sensor configured to capture a plurality of images of the level crossing;
- and a processor communicably coupled to the at least one imaging sensor, wherein the processor is configured to:
- receive the plurality of images from the at least one imaging sensor,
- determine a level of a railway track and a level of a road by processing the plurality of images, and
- identify a level-fault when a difference between the level of the railway track and the level of the road exceeds a predetermined level-tolerance.
A method for monitoring a level crossing, the method comprising:
- capturing a plurality of images of the level crossing using at least one imaging sensor;
- receiving the plurality of images from the at least one imaging sensor;
- determining a level of a railway track and a level of a road by processing the plurality of images;
- and
- identifying a level-fault when a difference between the level of the railway track and the level of the road exceeds a predetermined level-tolerance.
A computer program product for monitoring a level crossing, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory machine-readable data storage medium having stored thereon program instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to:
- control at least one imaging sensor to capture a plurality of images of the level crossing,
- receive the plurality of images from the at least one imaging sensor,
- determine a level of a railway track and a level of a road by processing the plurality of images, and
- identify a level-fault when a difference between the level of the railway track and the level of the road exceeds a predetermined level-tolerance.
