Research on Modern Tram Auxiliary Safety Protection Technology Based on Obstacles Detection

Due to the special running environment, modern tram has the certain safety hazard in the running process, so this research proposed an auxiliary safety protection technology based on obstacle detection for the modern tram. By the detector obtaining information of anterior obstacles and coordinate matching to identify the location of obstacles and relative location of tram rail. For the obstacles in the range of tram rail, this research can calculate the distance between tram and obstacles, as well as compute train protection curve dynamically, therefore it can provide the warning information to the driver. Finally, the results of simulation experiments proved the validity of this research, and it can provide the dynamic protection information based on the detective data.
