Abstract

This work presents the operating architecture of the manual control system intended for cargo transported by railway trains from the Port of Santos, located at the city of Santos in Brazil. This article presents also the proposal of an operating architecture and a software architecture for an automatic identification system of railways cars - identified as 'SIAV' or Automatic Car Identification System in this text. The results of the developed segmentation software (called AWImaging) operating along with off-the-shelf software for vision systems and off-the-shelf cameras, in order to compose the Automatic Identification System of Railway Cars by means of optical character identification, are also presented in this article.
