Through AI intelligent algorithms, the system can analyze the potential safety hazards such as bolt loosening and spring cracks that may exist in high-speed trains, and ring an alarm and send the mechanic images.
BEIJING, Feb. 18 (Xinhua) -- Chinese researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) maintenance system for key fittings of high-speed trains, which can greatly reduce risks of potential safety hazards, according to a report by Science and Technology Daily.
The system, developed by the maintenance base in Fuzhou, capital of east China's Fujian Province, is mounted on a handset carried by the ground mechanic and records the real-time image of the fittings when the mechanic works.
Through AI intelligent algorithms, it can analyze the potential safety hazards such as bolt loosening and spring cracks that may exist in high-speed trains, and ring an alarm and send the mechanic images.
The system has already eliminated more than 140 hidden dangers since it was put into operation, said Shi Bowen, a train dispatcher at the Fuzhou base.
With these "smart partners", China has become more capable in the maintenance and management of high-speed trains, allowing passengers to have a better travel experience, Shi said. ■
