Rules and standards to enable autonomous movement of inspection technologies

Descriptions

While systems capable of autonomous or semi-autonomous movement have demonstrated operational readiness, their use remains constrained by existing rules and definitions that do not reflect their modern capabilities. While aerial inspection platforms such as drones are increasingly used across the rail industry, this research focuses solely on "systems capable of autonomous or semi-autonomous movement" for inspection operations, defined here as ground-based technologies operating on or near the track.

This research aims to unlock their potential by identifying regulatory blockers and enablers.
