Objectives of the Product

An important task of facility management is regular motion monitoring – checking whether the structure or its parts are moving. In the case of strategic infrastructures – such as roads, railways, bridges or industrial facilities – the motion monitoring is required by law and industry standards.

Currently, these monitoring activities are carried out exclusively using field surveying, which requires personal presence, therefore significant human resources and cost. It is carried out with low temporal frequency – a few times a year – and, as a result, gives relatively few measured points and point density.

By using the project’s solution, the field surveying method could be partially replaced by radar based (InSAR) motion analysis. The application allows the land surveying and InSAR processing data to be managed, analysed and represented together with user-friendly functions:

• The ability to import and transform the land survey data from most popular formats.
• The hybrid data analysis using InSAR and land survey data together, time gap management and prediction functionalities.
• The management functions for the processing area and the facility data.
• The possibility of integration to other system, in particular to Building Information Modelling (BIM)-based facility management systems.
• Advanced modules for customisable alert system and notification services.

Customers and their Needs

The targeted customer segment of the portal application are the road and railway network operators and maintainers, industrial plant maintainers and land surveying experts, who already perform motion detection of facilities or infrastructures by using field surveying data.

Their main task is to prevent the facility’s damages, and their main points are the following:

• Personal presence is required.
• High-resource demand (human, car, surveying equipment)
• Relatively few measured points and point density.
• Measuring certain sites is difficult due to physical, operational or legal reasons.

The use of the web portal and its services provides the following advances to customers:

• Significantly higher measurement frequency and point density.
• Data visualisation and analysis functions.
• Less on-site presence and costs.
• Motion monitoring results can be shared easily among the surveyor, maintainer and authorities.

The added value lies in the possibility for the user to upload his previous land surveying measurement results in the form of CAD file exchange formats. These data and the results of the SAR based motion analysis are displayed and evaluated together. The end result is a hybrid application in which the results of two very different motion analysis methodologies can be interpreted together.

Product description

The main components of the product that provide the services of the application are:

• Ground motion detection portal (at top of the figure below)
• Registration, login/logout and user management services
• Upload service for land survey data
• Order service for InSAR data processing
• Advanced data analysis services
• Business logic management services
• BIM integration services

The application provides clear and simple user interfaces. The appropriate front-end technology, the integrated map application and the client-side and third party-based functions (editing data, viewing graphs) together ensure reliable use.
The application and the service components are scalable, the asynchronous functions provide predictable response times. The system ensures multitenant operation.

Added Value

The main focus of the solution is handling and analysing the two very different data sources (InSAR Line of sight, East/West, Vertical measurement versus the land surveying’s classical coordinate system and standards), with a market-oriented approach. Also, if the profession and industry accept, those InSAR results can be successfully used for motion analysis and infrastructure monitoring. Although competitors operate several web portals for displaying InSAR data and advanced data analysis in various fields, the joint use of data sets, data loading, visualisation, joint analysis and weighting, as well as services integrated with BIM systems, can be evaluated as unique. Weighting of the InSAR and land survey data also can be key to penetrate the market, by using different spatial methods like IDW, GWR, trend surface analysis.

Current Status

The project is now complete.

The first contact has been made with alpha customers – Geodézia Zrt., MKIF Zrt. in 2024 Q3. The sample area of the project was selected, which covers an M30 motorway segment with significant displacement examined. The solution and the problematic sample areas were presented to the alpha customers in QGIS, after which the collection of customer requirements was carried out.

The RR milestone was successfully completed in May 2025, from both technical and administrative perspectives. The system design had already started in 2025 Q1, the functional requirements have been defined into development issues, and in 2025 Q2 the software development of the back-end parts of the portal was launched.

The CDR milestone was closed in July 2025.

A geodetic survey for the sample area was ordered, a 3D survey of the 14 outset points was carried out using GNSS technology in October 2025.

Contacts were made with potential InSAR suppliers, both for the purpose of a single future survey of the sample area and for developing the framework of a general cooperation agreement. Detektia (Spain) was selected as a key supplier, and the data provision for the sample area was completed.

The development of application features was completed, stabilised and has been internally tested. An AWS account has been acquired and the application has been successfully deployed in cloud environment.

On 27 November 2025, the FAT was successfully completed. All test cases have been passed.

The activity had a successful SAT meeting on 5 February 2026 with the involvement of alpha customers, preceded by a kick-off. The validation phase was carefully prepared to ensure that the developed system could be validated under realistic operational conditions. The validation activities were carried out over a 6-week period (2 February 2026 – 16 March 2026), involving multiple user groups, with road maintainers and land surveyors as representative end users. Preparations were underway for the final milestone of the project, the Final Review, which was scheduled for 15 April 2026.
