Abstract

This paper presents the development and implementation of three innovative products: OLESense, OLESight, and OLESurvey, aimed at enhancing Overhead Line Equipment (OLE) monitoring. These systems are designed to improve the efficiency, accuracy, and safety of railway operations by integrating advanced sensor technologies, computer vision, and data analytics. The paper outlines the background, problem statement, design concepts, development processes, data collection methodologies, results, and future work directions. The effectiveness of these systems has been evaluated through testing and validation on the Blackpool Tramway, demonstrating significant improvements in OLE monitoring and maintenance.
