We are proud to celebrate our team member, Neryvaldo Galvão who was awarded the Cabo Verde Prize for Young Scientists (PYS) by Governo de Cabo Verde on January 16th. This prestigious prize recognizes the achievements of his doctoral thesis entitled “The impact of human errors on the performance to failure of concrete bridges” developed under […]

Don’t miss this insightful interview with Rade Hajdin as he shares the latest in C5’s impactful work.

Wir freuen uns, in diesem Jahr Teil des Deutschen Straßen- und Verkehrskongresses gewesen zu sein, der im Zeichen des 100-jährigen Jubiläums der FGSV stand. Drei spannende Tage lang bot die Veranstaltung die Möglichkeit, über aktuelle Entwicklungen im Straßen- und Verkehrswesen zu diskutieren und wertvolle Einblicke zu gewinnen.

This week, the Highways UK conference took place in Birmingham from Wednesday 16th to Thursday 17th October 2024.
We are excited to have participated as a guest speaker at the panel discussion on “Maintaining bridges effectively for an enhanced user experience.”

We are thrilled to have participated in the International Association for Bridge Maintenance and Safety (IABMAS) conference, held from June 24th to June 28th, 2024, in Copenhagen. This year marked the association’s 25th anniversary, making the event even more special!

At the 20th International Probabilistic Workshop (IPW 2024), held at the University of Minho, Guimarães, Portugal, from May 8-10, 2024, Prof. Rade Hajdin gave a presentation titled “Toward a More Resilient Road Infrastructure.”

Prof. Rade Hajdin presented the latest findings from our ongoing research project Infrarob. Within the special session “Advancing Resilience of Transport Operations and Infrastructure” the latest European research and innovation projects that enhance transport resilience from both infrastructure maintenance and operation perspectives were highlighted.

In a previous post, we were excited to share our recent collaboration with the Swiss Federal Roads Office (FEDRO), where we showcased the transformative power of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and artificial intelligence (AI) in surveying the iconic Nanin bridge, designed by Christian Menn and put into service in 1967. We pushed an envelope a little further and present a groundbreaking procedure for the semi-automated transformation of the bridge’s point cloud data into a comprehensive Building Information Modelling (BIM) model. This procedure combines the strengths of artificial intelligence with heuristic geometric algorithms, resulting in highly accurate and efficient modelling.

Für die Planung einer funktionierenden und nachhaltigen Verkehrsinfrastruktur müssen Maßnahmen auf der Basis aktueller Informationen aber auch unter Zuhilfenahme von Prognosen einer zukünftigen Entwicklung priorisiert werden. Dabei sollen die Mittel so eingesetzt werden, dass über alle Lebenszyklusphasen hinweg, die sicherste und ressourcenschonendste Lösung genutzt wird. Indikatoren machen Effekte messbar und helfen dabei, verschiedene Maßnahmen miteinander zu vergleichen und das geeignetste Vorgehen zu identifizieren. Dieses indikatorengestützte Konzept kann anhand eines IT-Demonstrators veranschaulicht und überprüft werden. So können die theoretisch gewonnenen Erkenntnisse mit der Praxis abgeglichen und es kann ein weiterer Schritt in Richtung Anwendung gegangen werden.
