Commercialisation opportunities
IP licensing, Technology co-development, Contract research
Problem addressed
Comprehensive transportation infrastructure inspections can improve safety, identify problems promptly, ensure compliance with regulations, and maintain the longevity of structures. However, there is a huge demand for infrastructure inspections in China. Traditionally, these inspections rely on time-consuming and inefficient manual operations. Automated inspections can increase inspection efficiency, ensure the safety of frontline workers, reduce human error and increase accuracy.
Innovation
- High-scan rate and high-precision 2D/3D sensing technology
- Artificial intelligence-based defect detection software
- The inertial aided multi-sensor system can calculate vehicle motion, to compensate the noise caused by vibration, velocity variance.
Key impact
- Measurement at high moving speed
- High scanning speed
- High precision and accuracy
- Detect multiple structural and logical anomalies
Application
- Transpotation infrastructure inspection, including roads, tunnels, slopes, etc.
- Security monitoring system
- Smart street lights
