Case Studies : Edge AI computer

Workers engaged in the maintenance of highways—critical social infrastructure—are constantly exposed to the danger of high-speed vehicles passing close by. “Highway Ai-MONITOR” was developed through continuous efforts to enhance their safety. Serving as the core (heart) of this system, CONTEC’s DX-U2200 has been adopted as the edge AI computer, meeting numerous essential requirements such as vibration resistance, a wide operating temperature range, and stable long-term supply.

At Meitetsu EI Engineer, we install and construct equipment and develop communication systems for Nagoya Railroad (abbreviated as “Meitetsu”) and other nearby railway companies. We formed a project team with Toyota Systems, which is experienced in AI-driven image analysis, and Toho Denki Industry, a railway equipment manufacturer. Together, we developed and deployed a system that monitors railroad crossings using AI-driven image analysis. We use the DX-U2200 as the edge AI computer to meet the system requirements.
