  • Patent number: 11891098
    Abstract: It is imperative that the integrity of a train and its railcars be maintained. A defective part or parts on a train may cause the derailment of the train and its railcars. A derailment often causes serious personal and property damage. The use of artificial intelligence that has been applied to this system will detect possible flaws or defects in the railroad car. A portal through which the train will pass houses cameras and a means of illumination to take high resolution images of the train through the portal. This information is then stored on a software platform. It has a feature which can include a human in the loop process that verifies the accuracy of the information. The solution also transmits detected defect images and information to a remote location for analysis.
