Geometric-Semantic-Model and Platform for pavement loading and response monitoring of a German Highway

This data publication contains the data and derivatives corresponding to the geometric-semantic model generated as foundation for the interactive visualization of the Unreal engine-based digital shadow platform for sensor data management and simulation integration for the use case Weigh-in-Motion (WIM) and pavement response analysis.

The Demonstrator "3D Interactive Visualization and Physical Mockup of a WIM Research Site" of the DFG Collaborative Research Center SFB/TRR 339 “Digital Twin Road” represents a case study for evaluating the feasibility of integrating multiple monitoring subsystems into a single source of truth representing the main components of a digital shadow system. The system integrates WIM system measurements, simulated pavement deformations and a real-time connection to a small-scale physical mock-up, where vehicle positions and proxy vehicle loading measurements can be monitored in real time. This demonstrates the feasibility of sensor data integration into a single-source-of-truth and linkage of real-time capable pavement analysis simulations into a high fidelity 3D monitoring environment, allowing interaction with the physical environment.
