This dataset contains over 7 million high-quality annotations of both railway-specific and general perception objects, captured under varying operational scenarios, to serve as a valuable resource for advancing AI-driven environment monitoring in the railway domain.
Abstract
Reliable environment monitoring is essential for the safe and efficient operation of automated railway systems, covering all Grades of Automation (GoA), from partially automated (GoA2) to fully automated operation (GoA4). Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays a central role in enabling these systems to detect, classify, and react to potential hazards in real time. The development of such AI-based perception systems requires large volumes of accurately annotated data for training and validation. Within the Digitale Schiene Deutschland (DSD) program, DB InfraGO AG and understandAI GmbH have developed a comprehensive multi- sensor dataset tailored to the needs of railway environment perception. This dataset contains over 7 million high-quality annotations of both railway-specific and general perception objects, captured under varying operational scenarios. The finalized dataset can now be requested at the DB InfraGO AG and serve as a valuable resource for advancing AI-driven environment monitoring in the railway domain.
This review paper argues that Vision-Language Models (VLMs), a paradigm whose rapid maturation is evidenced by recent comprehensive surveys offer a transformative solution for rail asset management, and provides a focused overview of the limitations of current CV systems.

This study shows that when multi-sensor fusion strategies are rationally designed, the constraints of a single sensor used to sample the environment can be addressed, and this strategy plays an important role in increasing the resilience of the system as well as its ability to understand its surrounding.
