Evo Enterprise - Long-range UAV for transport infrastructure inspection

Monitoring transport networks

Rail and road networks require regular inspection across long corridors, bridges and surrounding infrastructure. Ground-based checks can be slow, disruptive and difficult to repeat consistently.

Evo Enterprise combines long-range VTOL flight with dual payload capacity to inspect larger sections of the network in a single mission. Autonomous flight and mission-specific sensors provide consistent data for condition assessment, maintenance planning and monitoring over time.

Benefits of rail and road inspection drones

Long endurance and repeatable flight plans let you inspect more of the network per mission, with less time spent working on or alongside active transport routes.

Long-range aerial surveys cover larger sections of rail and road networks in fewer missions. Inspection teams spend less time moving between locations and maintenance teams receive updated condition data sooner.
Remote inspection reduces the time personnel spend near live rail lines, moving traffic and difficult-to-access infrastructure. Personnel can assess areas that would otherwise require close physical access from a safer distance.
High-resolution imagery and LiDAR provide detailed information on infrastructure and surrounding terrain. Consistent geospatial data makes it easier to compare changes, prioritise further inspection and plan maintenance.

Operational applications

Drones can be used across transport networks for infrastructure checks, traffic monitoring and environmental surveys.

  1. Infrastructure inspections

    1 - 5

    Infrastructure inspections

    High-resolution imagery and LiDAR provide detailed data on railway tracks, roads, bridges, tunnels and surrounding infrastructure. Regular surveys make it easier to identify visible changes and determine where closer inspection is needed.

  2. Road condition monitoring

    2 - 5

    Road condition monitoring

    Aerial surveys record road surfaces and surrounding infrastructure over long sections of the network. Comparing surveys over time helps teams identify deterioration, damage and other changes that require attention.

  3. Traffic flow analysis

    3 - 5

    Traffic flow analysis

    Aerial imagery provides an overview of traffic movement across roads, junctions and surrounding infrastructure, giving transport teams additional data for network assessment and planning.

  4. Emergency response and accident analysis

    4 - 5

    Emergency response and accident analysis

    Aerial imagery gives response teams a current view of an incident area without relying solely on ground access. It provides useful context for assessing damage, access conditions and the wider impact on the transport network.

  5. Environmental impact assessments

    5 - 5

    Environmental impact assessments

    RGB imagery and LiDAR document vegetation, drainage, erosion and terrain along rail and road corridors, providing current data for environmental assessment, planning and change monitoring.

Rail and road inspection drone outputs

Different payloads capture visual, elevation and 3D data for infrastructure assessment, planning and comparison between missions.

RGB orthomosaic maps

Georeferenced RGB imagery creates a detailed map of road and rail corridors for inspection, planning and comparison over time.

Environmental assessments

RGB and LiDAR record terrain, vegetation and ground conditions along transport corridors for environmental assessment and maintenance planning.

3D terrain models

LiDAR and photogrammetry create measurable 3D models for terrain analysis, clearance assessment and infrastructure planning.
