The Digital Twin is survey-grade LiDAR with co-located high-resolution video, aligned to Network Rail's linear reference system.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Rebeka Sellick,\n \n \n Business Development Director, UK & Europe\n \n \n , Cordel, said: \"\n \n Our contract with Angel Trains for Network Rail in the UK has enabled us to realise our vision to install our LiDAR, imagery and locations hardware onto in-service passenger trains. Building on last year's success, we installed a third complete Cordel Wave32 set on to an additional Class 165 train at Great Western Railway's Reading servicing and maintenance depot in February this year, proving that our modular retrofit can easily be rolled out to successive passenger trains.\nKey to Cordel's approach is that the hardware is not an end in itself, but feeds our data pipeline, so we can enrich the machine learning of our AI algorithms to deliver outputs\n for\n Network Rail's engineers. \n W\n ith the no-touch data capture now delivering up to 110GB per sensor set per day (depending on the train's timetable),\n we are\n tailor\n ing our\n AI\n to\n deliver\n further insight\n s for Network Rail, who's engineers have access to the Cordel Viewer to explore this rich dataset of LiDAR and imagery, and understand the benefits it offers them.\n \n \n With the Digital Twin successfully delivered, the Cordel development team has moved on to focus on the Gauging and Clearance Use Cases.\n \"\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Malcolm Brown\n \n \n , CEO Angel Trains, said\n \n \n :\n \n \"The Angel Trains class 165s were the first passenger trains to be installed with Cordel's innovative AI monitoring technology.
