• OpenData4InfMon: Monitoring with GNSS sensors and open data

  The ageing infrastructure on land, rail and water requires significant resources to ensure operational safety. The monitoring of deformations, especially on bridge structures and other important infrastructure, caused by ageing, material fatigue and slow (also climate-related) ground movements, is currently very cost-intensive. It is therefore necessary to develop and evaluate mass-applicable and cost-efficient analysis methods based on open data sources combined with local GNSS sensors, which do not yet exist. The project will investigate the possibilities of strict fusion of free GNSS and radar data as well as 3D city models and traffic route plans for the purpose of better assessment of deformations on structures in combination with locally installed sensor technology, in particular on infrastructures such as railroad lines, power lines and (bridge) structures. The added value of the data is generated in particular by AI analyses and spatiotemporal parameter estimation in combination with local GNSS data.

• port_AI – A fully digital twin for port structures using IoT, 5G, BIM, AR and AI methods to establish smart building lifecycle management

  The requirements for the safety and reliability of infrastructure management of infrastructure in the area of sea and inland ports are constantly increasing due to the growing globalisation of trade. The creation of a smart infrastructure should solve various challenges in the management of existing port infrastructure in this project. Digitisation and the use of AI processes are also included in this project under the term smart infrastructure. Only a thoroughly digital management of port infrastructure enables the economical use of resources, forward-looking maintenance, and early and comprehensive damage detection and assessment. This can lead to significant cost savings.
