Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Fault diagnosis of railway signal relays is crucial for the operational safety and efficiency of railway systems. With the continuous advancement of deep learning techniques in various applications, voiceprint-based fault diagnosis has emerged as a research hotspot, facilitating the transition from failure-based repair to condition-based maintenance. However, this approach still faces challenges such as the limited feature extraction capability of single voiceprint features and poor discriminability when features are highly concentrated. To address these issues, this paper proposes a voiceprint-based fault diagnosis method for railway signal relays that utilizes a Gaussian–Laplacian pyramid fusion rule and an improved Swin Transformer. The enhanced Swin Transformer integrates the original architecture with a saliency feature map as a masking strategy. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method, based on the Gaussian–Laplacian pyramid fusion rule and the improved Swin Transformer, reduces the number of parameters by 54.8% compared to the Vision Transformer while the accuracy is almost same.
