Level Crossing Control: A Novel Method Using Sound Recognition
Alim Sabur Ajibola, Nahrul Khair bin Alang Md. Rashid, Md. Mozasser Rahman · Engineering Journal · 2013
The level crossing (LX) or railway crossing being an intersection between a public road and a railway line, can be controlled actively or passively.Sound recognition can be used to actively control a level crossing.A system is proposed in this study for the use of sound to control a LX.This proposed system uses Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficient (MFCC) as feature extractor, and Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) as classifier.The proposed system has shown a great potential that could be harnessed to contribute to the reduction in the loss of lives and properties at the LX.
