ABOUT PROJECT

Trans Global Solutions (TGS) is a leading transportation and infrastructure provider specializing in railroad operations, construction, and site development for both public and private sector clients. As part of its commitment to environmental responsibility, TGS joined Operation Clean Sweep—an initiative focused on minimizing plastic pollution, particularly in ocean ecosystems. This project aimed to automate the detection of unsecured hopper car caps, a key contributor to plastic leakage, using AI-powered video analytics.

Project Objectives

TGS aimed to replace manual inspections with a scalable, automated system for detecting unsecured caps on plastic hopper cars in real time. The objective was to boost safety, compliance, and inspection efficiency through automation. Key objectives included:

Monitoring multiple camera feeds simultaneously and logging inspection data accurately
Issuing instant alerts to prevent potential spills and safety risks
Reducing manual effort while strengthening environmental compliance

Problem Statement

TGS faced operational challenges with its existing inspection process, which required personnel to manually monitor three camera feeds at the CPIP entrance. This approach was not only time-intensive but also left room for human error. Given the volume of train traffic and the critical importance of preventing plastic leakage, the company urgently needed a reliable, automated system to ensure timely detection of unsecured hopper caps and enable rapid corrective actions.

Possible solution

Liquid Technologies partnered with TGS to develop a custom AI-powered video analytics application named Vidan. The system was designed to detect and classify open or unsecured hopper caps in real time, integrating seamlessly with TGS’s on-premise MS-SQL database for structured data storage. Each incident was logged with details such as equipment ID, time, alert type, and location. Instant alerts enabled TGS teams to act quickly, reducing the dependency on manual oversight and streamlining operational workflows across the inspection process.
