Fleets under the watchful eye of the camera

Transport companies face challenges in vehicle inspections, often relying on drivers' observations. The TruckVision 360 system, developed by Łukasiewicz – Poznań Institute of Technology, uses over 20 cameras to capture vehicle images, which are processed into panoramic views. Future enhancements include AI for automatic image analysis to detect changes and damages. The system will also measure tire tread depth and integrate with vehicle onboard computers for pressure readings. A similar device for trams is in testing with Poznań's MPK. Additionally, the TrainScanner, used in the UK and Poland, automates maintenance assessments for trains, improving service intervals and reducing material usage.
