Abstract

In this paper, we present the intelligent freight train ID recognition system (IFTIRS), which is a kind of intelligent transportation system (ITS). It can be used at any place along the railway. Recognizing the ID, including the serial number and configuration parameters of the carriages, enable convenient and automatic management of the freight train system. The system constitution and workflow are introduced, and the technique of image acquisition, characters location, isolation of each character, character recognition and database management are also addressed in details. Finally, capability under practical condition shows the effectiveness of our IFTIRS.
