The vision based monitoring system detects possible accidents in railway platform area by using multiple cameras and sensors, and immediately reports the detection results with alarm message to the station and train. Moreover, the system makes train emergency stop to handle immediately by using a connection mechanism, which links vision based monitoring system with railway signal system. KRRI(Korea Railroad Research Institute) have developed the vision based monitoring system as a national research and development project since 2005. In this year, we have finished the system installation in Dae-gu station and tested in real operation condition. This paper presents the system overview with configuration, detection algorithm, and evaluation of the system detection performance.
