A slow-speed-notifying signal is a quite important component of railway signal system that is related with the train's safety. However, because detection of the temporary signal is depending on only the driver's eyes, and furthers a backup system such as ATS is not installed, the security of the train's safety is not complete. Therefore, in order to solve this problem, we have been developing a system based on image processing method, which uses pattern-matching algorithm. This system is able to detect slow-speed-notifying signals automatically from image sequences of front view of a train, and gives an alarm to the drivers to assist them. In this paper, we describe the details of these fundamental algorithms and the results of prototype program's benchmark tests.
