Transportation case studies: rail, road, marine, and vehicle-mounted thermal imaging deployments for inspection, safety, and night operations.
From Core to Payload in Four Months: An OEM's UAV Thermal Camera Integration
How a drone-payload OEM took a 23-gram thermal core from evaluation board to shipping dual-sensor gimbal in four months — the mechanical, thermal and interface decisions that made the schedule, and what they'd do differently.

Thermal Monitoring for EV Charging Stations: Catching Hot Connections Before They Fail
How a charging network operator put radiometric thermal monitoring on its fast-charging sites — catching loose terminals, failing cables and overheating charge ports as rising trends, weeks before breakers tripped.

Thermal Vision for Driverless Haul Trucks: Night Obstacle Avoidance in an Autonomous Mine
How an open-pit mine added thermal AI vision to its fleet of driverless haul trucks — classifying people, animals and stalled vehicles through darkness and dust that lidar and visible cameras alone could not resolve.

Early Fire Warning for a Road Tunnel: Thermal Eyes Inside the Bore
How a highway operator added fixed radiometric thermal cameras to a 5.2 km road tunnel's safety system — detecting vehicle fires in their first tens of seconds and flagging overheating truck brakes before they ignite.

AI Night Vision for Haul Trucks in an Open-Pit Mine
How an open-pit mine cut night-shift vehicle incidents by fitting haul trucks with AI-enabled EO/IR vision that detects pedestrians, light vehicles and obstacles in darkness, dust and glare — far beyond headlight range.

Thermal Night Navigation and Man-Overboard Detection for a Coastal Workboat Fleet
How a coastal workboat operator equipped its fleet with dual-spectrum thermal-visible camera systems for night navigation — seeing unlit boats, floating debris and channel markers in total darkness, and adding an automatic man-overboard alarm.

All-Weather Dual-Spectrum Traffic Monitoring for a Smart City Arterial
How a smart city project moved incident detection on a 14-kilometer arterial from visible-light cameras — blind at night, in fog and in glare — to dual-spectrum thermal-visible units with edge AI, cutting incident response times around the clock.

Wayside Thermal Detection of Overheating Axle Bearings on Freight Trains
How a freight railway rebuilt its aging hot-box detection points with modern radiometric thermal cores — cutting missed overheating bearings and false stops across a heavy-haul corridor.

Onboard Thermal Monitoring of Pantograph-Catenary Contact on a Metro Line
How a metro operator moved pantograph-catenary inspection from a monthly night-window manual check to continuous onboard thermal monitoring on in-service trains — catching arcing and contact wear weeks earlier.
