Method of detecting obstacles on railways and preventing train accidents
First Claim
1. A method for detecting obstacles on railways and stopping the train to prevent collision with the obstacle comprising:
- at least one detecting device in or on the train to follow the rails and take images while running,a computing system to analyze the images of the rails and detecting the rails and any obstacle on them,a monitor to show the images of the rails and a detected obstacle,an alarm system to be actuated when an obstacle is detected,a braking system of the train.

Abstract
The object of the invention is to provide a method and an apparatus for detecting obstacles on railways and stopping the train to prevent collision with the obstacle. The detecting device in or on the train is following the rails and detecting any obstacle on the rails. The image of the rails with obstacle is sent to a computer, analyzed, directing the detecting device to the rails and sending the images to a monitor and alarm the driver by an alarming system to actuate the brakes and stop the train before hitting the obstacle. The computer may also actuate the brakes automatically and stop the train before hitting the obstacle.
