Abstract

The diploma thesis deals with design and development of the system which detects and numbers train carriages in compliance with International Union of Railways. Firstly, methods for correct detection of passing wheel including time records are analysed. Also, the summary of detection sensors used in railway industry is referred. I analyse meaning of each digit in numbering according to the UIC. The system solution is designed and the interaction and communication with other sub-systems is discussed. I put emphasis on the kind of solution that returns as accurate record as possible under any circumstances. The system operates in real time. Further, the results of measuring program are back-tested in order to verify low-deviation of measuring system component. The following section describes program prototype, which processes the recorded data. The algorithms which I used for the detection of wheel and train carriages are described. In the following chapter I discuss the usage of an external camera detecting the numbers in accordance to the UIC. In the last chapter, I describe the test environment in which the solution has been tested, and summarize the results of tests on a real life railway.
