Abstract

In the domain of railway infrastructure, monitoring
and securing the operational stability of the operation remains a
significant problem. Vandalism, trespassing, sabotage and theft
are constant threats, endangering the safety and integrity of the
entire system. At the same time monitoring of these systems
is becoming harder and harder as the systems grow and the
amount of data produced by the surveillance equipment scales accordingly. Additionally, since specific sensor modalities can have weaknesses in detecting one kind of threat, it is often necessary to install different sensors to get a better understanding of situation. In this paper we present our fusion model based on
Probabilistic Occupancy Maps (POM) and Bayesian Inference for environmental mapping of critical events such as vandalism and trespassing in the vicinity of railway infrastructure. We show that this approach helps to increase accuracy, while simultaneously decreasing the amount of false alarms generated by a system.
