Continental Smart Construction

Construction requires careful planning and monitoring to operate safely and efficiently. Countless obstacles, unforeseen failures, and injuries can lead to large amounts of downtime. Continental has created a suite of technologies and services dedicated to creating a smart construction system. Utilizing these services will not only save time and money, but could ultimately save lives.

Drone Services

Drone applications are incredibly helpful at every stage of the construction cycle, from bidding and pre-planning to execution and maintenance. Drones are able to cover large areas with precise detail, in even the most difficult terrain. Continental drones can provide fast surveying and mapping, up-to-date 3D models, thermal mapping, and more. These maps and models can be used for every stage of planning including optimized haulage roads.

Continental drone services offer improved safety on-site thanks to real-time vision on activities and construction. Any incidents that may occur are caught as quickly as possible and action can be taken accordingly.

• Improved safety on site

• Fast surveying and mapping

• Data collection capabilities across sites

• Generate up-to-date 3D models (Digital Twin)

• Real-time vision on incidents and status of operational activities or construction

• Haulage road optimization

• Thermal mapping

Smart Construction Sites

Using sensor information, cloud based applications, and efficient communication technology, the Continental Smart Construction site helps make operations in construction and mining as safe and efficient as possible.

Information from radar and radar/camera based sensors are aggregated from both vehicles and infrastructure to support accident avoidance. Collision warning, object detection, work zone mapping, speed warning, and identification of danger hotspots are all possible through Smart Construction.

• Monitoring of construction sites and mines by aggregation of sensor information from vehicles and infrastructure

• Accident avoidance through:

  • collision warning

  • object detection

  • work zone mapping

  • speed warning

  • danger hotspot identification

  • traffic analysis

• Supports asset management via object detection and monitoring

• Option to integrate with Continental Safety Assistant and other 3rd party safety solutions

Digital Safety Assistant

Continental has developed a mobility safety solution that creates a 360° digital protection shield for all specified moving targets in a defined area. This easy to install service can be deployed in any region, even confined spaces, without any hardware.

The Continental Digital Safety assistant is designed to help save lives through accident avoidance by collision warning, speed warning, and danger hotspot identification. In order to make this life-saving service as available as possible, Digital Safety Assistant can be used in any location with 4G/5G network communication. Cloud AI based algorithms are able to calculate and predict collisions and trajectories, so that more can be done to prevent any issues.

The ability to monitor traffic and safety situations translates into less production downtime due to accidents and injuries.

• Save lives through accident avoidance and collision warning

• No deployment hurdles, works in any location with 4G/5G coverage

• Better understanding of traffic

• Prevent downtime

• Cloud AI based algorithms to calculate collisions and trajectories

• System engineering to integrate into vehicle

• HMI to optimize understanding and reaction
