Storage cranes at Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG’s (HHLA) modern and efficient shipment yard require an annual survey of over 30km of rail per terminal. A research team at TU Braunschweig - AEROINSPEKT, has developed a system to perform airborne measurement of critical infrastructure in operation, thus reducing downtime required by manned ground inspection.
Creating a “digital railway” – an accurate and dynamic visualization tool, provides fast and accurate potential damage identification, enables professionals taking informed decisions while planning and prioritizing rail development, maintenance, repairs and renewal projects.
