Abstract

Railway track defects in Malaysia pose significant risks of train derailments and accidents, underscoring the urgency for early and accurate defect detection and classification. This study presents a novel approach utilizing deep learning models, VGG16 and YOLOv5, for detecting and classifying railway track defects, explicitly focusing on corrugation and squat defects. The research's uniqueness lies in its application of these specific models and the composition of a dataset collected from extensive field measurements and inspections across various railway tracks within the Track Network Maintenance Ampang Line in Malaysia. The results demonstrate that these models achieve high precision in defect classification and detection of defects by more than 80%. The proposed methodology provides the railway industry with a powerful tool to streamline maintenance planning and prioritize defect remediation efficiently. Early defect detection can prevent potential accidents and improve safety and operational efficiency. Future studies can expand on these findings by exploring the extension of the proposed techniques to address other types of rail defects. Incorporating a diverse range of scenarios and operating conditions in the dataset could further enhance the models' performance and generalization. Real-time deployment and integration with existing maintenance systems are crucial for practical adoption. This research has strengths but acknowledges limitations. Additional evaluation metrics and a diverse dataset are essential for model performance. Leveraging deep learning models offers a reliable solution for railway maintenance, enhancing safety and efficiency. Addressing these limitations will drive proactive defect management, ensuring safe and reliable railway networks.

Abstract

Engineering Drawing (ED) digitization is a crucial aspect of modern industrial processes, enabling efficient data management and facilitating automation. However, the accurate detection and recognition of ED elements pose significant challenges. This paper presents a comprehensive review of existing research on ED element detection and recognition, focusing on the role of neural networks in improving the analysis process. The study evaluates the performance of the YOLOv7 model in detecting ED elements through rigorous experimentation. The results indicate promising precision and recall rates of up to 87.6% and 74.4%, respectively, with a mean average precision (mAP) of 61.1% at IoU threshold 0.5. Despite these advancements, achieving 100% accuracy remains elusive due to factors such as symbol and text overlapping, limited dataset sizes, and variations in ED formats. Overcoming these challenges is vital to ensuring the reliability and practical applicability of ED digitization solutions. By comparing the YOLOv7 results with previous research, the study underscores the efficacy of neural network-based approaches in handling ED element detection tasks. However, further investigation is necessary to address the challenges above effectively. Future research directions include exploring ensemble methods to improve detection accuracy, fine-tuning model parameters to enhance performance, and incorporating domain adaptation techniques to adapt models to specific ED formats and domains. To enhance the real-world viability of ED digitization solutions, this work highlights the importance of conducting testing on diverse datasets representing different industries and applications. Additionally, fostering collaborations between academia and industry will enable the development of tailored solutions that meet specific industrial needs. Overall, this research contributes to understanding the challenges in ED digitization and paves the way for future advancements in this critical field.
