Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2023006184A1] According to various aspects, an automotive inspection robotic vehicle (100) for inspecting a railway track and/or a railway vehicle is described, comprising: an onboard driving device (104) to allow for moving the inspection robotic vehicle (100) to thereby allow the inspection robotic vehicle (100) to drive along and adjacent to a railway track; an onboard control device (106) configured to control the onboard driving device (104); one or more onboard sensors (108) configured to detect parameter data representing at least one railway track parameter and/or railway vehicle parameter, describing a condition of the railway track and/or railway vehicle, respectively; and a holding structure (110) laterally extending on the automotive inspection robotic vehicle (100) and configured to engage with a rail or rails of the railway track to thereby, during use, hold the automotive inspection robotic vehicle (100) on the rail or rails of the railway track.
