May 2019 | Patrick Buckens, Daan Rabijns

Infrabel has developed an engineering tool called Hyperion as a response to the volume of ETCS (European Train Control System) projects [1], their tight deployment planning and the associated site surveys. Hyperion allows the automatic recognition of all signalling elements and Georef [2] tagging. From a technical point of view, Hyperion relies on the unique intelligent integration of Lidar (Light Detection and Ranging) and cameras and a learning intelligent post-processing engine for the signalling element recognition....
