Remote Infrastructure Monitoring
Case Study: Remote Infrastructure Monitoring
Infrastructure monitoring, maintenance, and incident response are among the most important (and resource-intensive) responsibilities of public sector agencies and private partners. Cutting-edge drone technology, however, can facilitate real-time transit infrastructure monitoring, data collection, and computer-assisted analysis of infrastructure integrity, obstructions, security, and other critical capabilities.
Explore how City Tech and partners developed and deployed drone-based solutions to monitor critical infrastructure.

Case Study:
Drone Applications for Communications Infrastructure Monitoring and Maintenance
Drones enabled by artificial intelligence and machine learning are increasingly finding new applications across industries to improve or create new services.
City Tech and Crown Castle partnered with an ecosystem of experts to deploy a drone mission that demonstrated strategies for conducting remote infrastructure monitoring and maintenance.
Case Study: Drone Uses for Rail Infrastructure Monitoring & Maintenance
City Tech Collaborative organized a team of industry-leading technology companies and civic partners to develop a demonstration for a drone system operating on an urban, public transit railway.
City Tech, Verizon, the Chicago Transit Authority, Skyward, and Ardenna demonstrated a proof-of-concept and offered insights on opportunities for operationalization and scaling a drone program across inspection and other railway use cases.
