Rail transit systems are critical in the modern world, and one of the most important systems in traffic and transportation engineering. High-speed rail is now common worldwide and the operation and maintenance of high-speed railways has grown in importance. At the same time, applied robotics and artificial intelligence systems afford new and efficient ways to operate and maintain rail transit systems. Robots have gradually been integrated into the manufacture, assembly, and processing of high-speed trains, automated railway patrolling, and many other areas. Robot Systems for Rail Transit Applications presents the latest advances in robotics and artificial intelligence for railway systems, giving foundational principles and running through special problems in robot systems for rail transit. State-of-the art research in robotics and railway systems is presented alongside a series of real-world examples. Eight chapters give definitions and characteristics of rail transit robot systems; describe assembly and collaborative robots in manufacturing; introduce automated guided vehicles, and autonomous rail rapid transit; and demonstrate inspection robots, trench robots, and unmanned aerial vehicles able to provide maintenance for rail transit systems. This book offers an integrated and highly-practical way to approach robotics and artificial intelligence in rail-transit.
