Challenge Statement 1: Inspection for Estate Asset, Virtual InSpectIon which Omits Manual processes (V.I.S.I.O.N)

As part of estate management and maintenance works, JTC and its outsourced vendor conduct routine inspections across various industrial estates in Singapore. Some examples of the assets within the industrial estates are:

• Street furniture (railings, kerbs etc)
• Trees (type of tree, health condition of tree, inspection records
• etc)
• Roads (road surface condition, potholes, road markings)

Through inspecting these assets or user feedback, defects such as potholes, damaged fences/curbs and sick trees will be picked up and rectification works will be arranged accordingly.

1. A cost- and manpower- effective scanning and visualisation system/method.
2. Proposed Method should be able to scan the estate asset condition during a drive through.
3. Proposal includes approach/method to detect estate faults (damaged fence, curbs, potholes), capture conditions of faults with georeference
4. Able to ascertain other maintenance concerns within the estates ( such as health status of trees along pathway).
5. Describe means to trigger human intervention for estate faults (damaged fence, curbs, potholes) that require corrective actions.
6. Considers interoperability with other government systems/ existing JTC systems

1. Viable solution that increases manpower productivity and safety – A solution that captures images/ shapes/ contours, identify and flag out fault conditions and automatically generating alerts and reports.
2. Quick detection of faults and response time – The system shall reduce the reaction time between fault identification and rectification.

Scanning solutions : LIDAR or video analytics or even both

Back end platform: Stand-alone / cloud based management system which can allow JTC officers to:

• Upload scanned data
• Visualise identified fault and “accept identified fault”
• Prioritise faults detected
• Generate report for corrective action

Applicants are encouraged to propose phases of development and delivery.

A possible timeline is as follows:

To work on data collection and identification of normal conditions of key assets within ring fenced estate and fault identification algorithm.

As shared in the project agreement, we would like to continue to develop and scale up the solution with successful applicants to support JTC’s operational needs.

Possible future work: Integration with other JTC platforms.
