This paper describes a Remote Collaborative Visual Inspection System for integrated management by linking digital movie captured by a running vehicle and online road drawings. The newly developed road condition assessment system consists of commercially available on-board high-resolution video cameras during the visual inspection of road pavements and road appurtenances and a Web connection system. The system enables users to select a road section in a road register on an on-screen map and visually observe not only pavements but also road facilities, slopes, the state of vegetation, and road-occupying structures. The system, therefore, can be expected to help reduce visual detection failures compared with conventional visual observation from moving vehicles and make highly objective evaluation possible through observation by two or more persons. By using image data, the system also provides basic data that can be used for not only maintenance but also road planning.

Operational availability of Gas Turbine Generator Sets (GTGs) aboard the U.S. Navy’s DDG 51 Class ships is being enhanced through the combined capabilities of the ship’s Integrated Condition Assessment System (ICAS) and the GTG’s Full Authority Digital Control (FADC). This paper describes the ICAS and FADC systems; their current capabilities and the vision of how those capabilities will evolve in order to improve equipment readiness and reduce life cycle costs.
