INTELO means "INspection TElévisuelle des Ouvrages": Remote Inspection of train and road bridges.
It was a project co-founded by Région Auvergne Rhône Alpes with European funds (FEDER).
It involved the firms
the Mechanical Department of INSA Lyon (Université de Lyon) and the research laboratory Ampère.
The firm Structure et Réhabilitation had to design a mobile robotic system aiming at taking pictures of sides and the underside of train and road bridges.
This system had to be embarked on a small vehicle able to proceed along the train rails while some high speed train could pass.
It had to shoot every important hidden part of bridge and detect cracks.
A prototype has been built. It is currently used by the firm S&R and is marketed by Mobilev.
