VisioStack receives SBIR nod
The U.S. DOT Volpe National Transportation Systems Center recently announced its recommendations for the 2019 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) solicitation, which includes VisioStack’s proposal Aerial Crossing Inspection System (AXIS).
Cloud architecture for Big Data
Railway infrastructure does not provide much information in and of itself, however, high-tech inspection vehicles, equipped with sensors and radars, frequently perform inspections of the track. They capture millions of data points when inspecting miles of track, by measuring numerous characteristics, such as rail, track and substructure quality. Further, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), or drones, are now being used to take images and scan tracks.
