摘要

The present disclosure relates to a train detection system for a railwaytrack. Therailway track defines a first lateral side and a second lateral side oppositethe first lateralside. The train detection system includes:- at least two cameras, being arranged along the railway track spaced apartfromeach other, each camera being placed on either the first lateral side or thesecond lateralside;- at least one passive target, each of the passive targets being placed withinthefield of view of at least one of the cameras and on the opposite lateral sideof the railwaytrack with respect to the at least one of the cameras in whose field of viewthe respectivepassive target is placed; and- at least one controller adapted to recognise the at least one passive targetin theimages provided by at least one of the cameras to the controller in order todeterminewhether a train is located on the railway track.The present disclosure also relates to a method for detecting a train on arailwaytrack.The present disclosure further relates to a controller for a train detectionsystem fordetecting a train on a railway track.
