C-GMS

A Canadian Ground Motion Service (C-GMS) for Transportation Infrastructure Monitoring, over large geographic areas, is being created. The latest version of C-GMS, covering the Quebec City to Windsor corridor (expanded) and the Hudson Bay Railway (HBR - Manitoba) is available for viewing at: http://www.c-gms.com (free account creation required). During the CSA-supported project, C-GMS will be streamlined and validated for use in railway and bridge infrastructure monitoring systems. Innovation is provided primarily by the ability to cover large areas, providing regional, provincial or national coverage. This is made possible by time series of Sentinel-1 data and by streamlined big data analytics. An Artificial Intelligence component for predictive modelling of infrastructure health will be added to the service. Collaborators from the National Research Council and HBR support Kepler and additional collaborators from private sector infrastructure monitoring specialists are being sought.
