Road maintenance operations guided by XR technologies combined with a robotic modular platform

Scope

This CEN Workshop Agreement defines a complete and flexible framework for performing road maintenance operations, utilizing XR applications integrated with a modular robotic platform (MRP). The CWA provides a complete methodology, with guidelines and best practices for the development of such applications, presenting the basic challenges and highlighting the most crucial aspects of the framework.
More specifically, the methodology involves the following:
- Guidelines for selecting the proper XR device for developing and executing the application.
- Guidelines for creating the virtual objects and the immersive environments.
- Guidelines for developing different functionalities for controlling industrial robots.
- Guidelines for defining the exact procedures of each road maintenance operations and specify the steps of execution.
- Guidelines for receiving information from sensors and V2X communication.
- Guidelines for the integration of XR applications with the MRP and other software systems.
- Guidelines for increasing the safety of the road workers through the XR applications (Informative Annex A).
