Focus
Line-scanning data captured by the AIVR Focus system provides an incredibly comprehensive capture of the track using underbody cameras, allowing proactive maintenance to reduce faults on the tracks.
A Line Scanning System
AIVR Focus is a Line Scanning system deployed on in-service and measurement vehicles which automatically captures and transmits track conditions, enabling remote, detailed inspection using a safe, rapid and reliable method.
AIVR Focus can be used to inspect plain line and conductor rail track, allowing proactive maintenance to reduce faults on the tracks.
Track Componentry Detection
Line-scanning data captured by the AIVR Focus system provides an incredibly comprehensive capture of the track using underbody cameras.
Machine Learning is applied to the high-definition imagery to automatically detect componentry such as fishplates, electrical cables, welds, and further points of interest. As more data enters the system, the conditions of these assets can be assessed and highlighted as an ‘issue’ for further investigation.
Combined with FFV, geospatial and additional partner location systems, AIVR Focus gives users the ability to determine the exact location where there may be defects, unknown objects or wet beds on the track. This allows maintenance teams to make data-driven decisions to support track maintenance planning and target exact areas which need a rapid response from the team.
Track Geometry
Laser-based track geometry systems are integrated with AIVR Focus and operate autonomously. Data is made accessible via our powerful web-based frontend alongside AIVR captured line-scanning imagery. Geometry data is provided in Network Rail specific presentation.
How AIVR Focus Video is captured:
There are a number of measurement and in-service vehicles within the UK that are kitted out with AIVR Focus devices; each system can be easily configured in-line with the capture requirements. These systems are fully automated and do not require the presence of an on-train technician, and the data collected is accessible entirely remotely.
What our partners say about us
"Great solution that’s enabled early planning of work sites in a controlled space prior to going trackside - reducing exposure to the railway environment and improving site knowledge."
Construction Manager
"We have found the AIVR software really useful and a great tool to assist us with our Signalling Design projects!"
DigiSig Rail Group
Russell Simpson
"GGP find the AIVR system to be a useful and user friendly tool for both increasing our pre-site survey spatial awareness around proposed assets and obtaining a base understanding of the lie of the land for our many long linear projects."
GGP Consult
Euan Allison, Principal Civil Engineer
"We think it is a great tool and really helps us with our planning – we are just scratching the surface of using it “properly,” I think so expect to get more value as we go."
Kent Group
Robert Kent, Operations Director
"AIVR by One Big Circle has enabled our planning and site teams to gain a better understanding of site conditions and layout before attending the location due to the availability of regularly updated high quality footage."
Kier
Anthony Brooks, Senior Planning Manager
"AIVR is a good tool for Access Point work, such as identification of track entrance Stairs and Platform ends. I have used AIVR to support already collected data with further verification confirmation."
Network Data Manager
"It really is a massive benefit having such a vast coverage of cab footage without the hassle of having to arrange track access and often drive hundreds of miles in the process."

Barry McLeish, Operations Director
"Its been a great tool for me to use and has saved on having to carry out site visits all of the time and with more and more videos being added there is good choice most of the time when looking at a specific area."
QTS
Jamie Mcllvaney, Isolations Manager
"An excellent tool in assisting in preparation of tenders and for detailed planning upon contract award."
S&T Cover
"We feel that we have plenty to offer on this sustainability journey and AiVR is certainly part of that ability to reduce our carbon footprint."
Ramboll

Gaby
"Ease of use and an extensive video library made for rapid deployment of this tool to the project teams. Gives an up-to-date window view into project environments."
Siemens
Project Manager
"I am involved in 11 signal sighting projects and in the last 18 months I only visited site once due to the clarity of the footage on AIVR."
Signal Sighter
"AIVR has helped me with signal sighting activities on a number of schemes, where alternative footage was not readily available."
