New solution integrates
Autostrade per l'Italia (ASPI) today announced a new solution that integrates the latest
The new digital platform will integrate inspection, structural monitoring and maintenance activities to allow for continuous monitoring of critical infrastructure. Mobile devices connected to the system will provide technicians who perform inspections with insights about the infrastructure they are managing, combined with access to project documentation that can help operators determine if and when maintenance should be performed. Automated workflow processes can be set up to track whether required activities have been successfully completed and required approvals have been given-allowing operators to manage the infrastructure and associated information in a shared and transparent way.
'Our intention is to create one of the most advanced infrastructure monitoring and maintenance systems in
'We all know how important bridges, tunnels and roads are for the daily life of every citizen. Many of these structures have been built at different times and with different materials. That's why
The system combines 3D models of the monitored infrastructure with images taken in the field by technicians processed by AI, to classify which sections may require maintenance and suggest additional checks and physical inspections for the operator to evaluate.
The monitoring platform will communicate in real time with sensors installed on infrastructure, the number of which will grow progressively. This Internet of Things (IoT) technology will make it possible to create a centralized digital database containing all the regularly updated information on approximately 4,300 structures (bridges, viaducts, flyovers and tunnels) which are part of the network managed by ASPI.
The new system will be launched in
The second phase of the project, set to begin in mid-2020, is designed to support infrastructure maintenance activities-from design to operations, and from testing to execution-to flow through a single dashboard, giving operators a fully integrated view of activities.
The new ASPI system has been designed to immediately communicate with the 'Ainop' database, the interface used by the
