Abstract:

A system for determining a presence of a rail vehicle on a plurality of tracks that includes a first image capture device, a second image capture device, and at least one processor to receive first image data associated with a first image captured by the first image capture device, receive second image data associated with a second image captured by the second image capture device, determine a first track upon which a rail vehicle is predicted to be located based on the first image data associated with the first image, determine a second track upon which the rail vehicle is predicted to be located based on the second image data associated with the second image, and determine the track upon which the rail vehicle is located based on the first track and the second track. A method and computer program product are also disclosed.
