Abstract of the dataset
dc.description.abstract

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.

Project abstract
opara.project.description

The mobility of people and goods is a central basis of our modern society with increasingly global and diverse networked processes. In its present form, mobility, especially with regard to road traffic, is currently confronted with global challenges (durability, safety, efficiency, ecology, costs, automation etc.) that urgently require fundamental solutions. In the planned SFB/TRR 339 (TU Dresden, RWTH Aachen), a spatially and temporally multi-dimensional, digital/virtual image (reality model in space and time) of vehicle, tires and road surface (concrete and asphalt) taking into account the road pavements (integrated multi-functionality) can be developed and researched. The reality model combines all available and relevant information about the "Road of the Future" from physical investigations and modeling as well as from informational and traffic data (sensor data, data models etc.). It enables and requires the interaction between the physical-structural and the informational-traffic design level. This interactive reality model in space and time is called the digital twin of the road system and is used in perspective to analyze, control and forecast the physical original (real road system consisting of vehicle, tires, lane, nearby street space) by means of common interfaces. The extension of the road to a high-tech platform is to be developed using the new, interdisciplinary research approach (civil engineering, computer science, society). The research approach is based on a three-stage development strategy: In Phase I, the required submodels are designed and developed. In Phase II, the partial models are combined using common, standardized interfaces and integrated into a holistic model of the road system (digital shadow), which in Phase III will allow the analysis and control of the road system with its own control components (digital twin). The aim is to achieve the vehicle's already high level of development in the same way for the road system, so that a new quality of integration of vehicles and infrastructure can also be achieved. The overriding aspects of law and sustainability shall be explicitly included in the conception and development of the digital twin of the road system from the start on. The digital twin of the road system will lead to an intelligent, gentle and sustainable use of the road infrastructure. Other expected results are groundbreaking condition forecasts, interfaces to local traffic control, the optimal synthesis of building materials and structures, interfaces to automated driving and the reduction of emissions, e.g. by minimizing traffic jam scenarios or long-lasting road infrastructure components (use of resources).

Description:
This file contains the full TLS scan data as LAS segments per class from the annotation process. The data serves as a foundation for different use cases, such as the use case of semantic segmentation. The derivative for semantic segmentation is stored in WIM_Research_Site.h5. This file provides segments with higher density, allowing for object-specific analyses.
