Neu-Ulm becomes digital: 3D cars document streets with high-tech!

Neu-Ulm, Deutschland - What's new from Neu-Ulm? From next Monday, the city begins with an exciting project to renew the infrastructure. A high-tech vehicle, packed with 3D cameras, will drive through the streets of Neu-Ulm. The aim is to precisely document the condition of roads, walking and cycling paths and thereby optimize planning in urban administration. The city of Neu-Ulm has secured the services of Inovitas Deutschland GmbH , which enables the digital recording of the infrastructure.

In a period of four weeks, from July 14 to August 14, 2025, the measuring vehicle is equipped with modern laser scanners and cameras to create precise 3D recordings. Not only the streets are documented, but also traffic signs, markings and plantings. This should not only serve to document the damage, but also to increase efficiency in planning and field operations. Similar recordings were made about ten years ago, but now it is time to bring the data up to date, such as SWR.

data protection is going on

Of course, data protection plays a central role in this project. The 3D street photographs are not published and serve exclusively internal purposes of the city administration. Personal data such as faces and vehicle license plates are automatically pixelated to ensure the protection of the privacy of citizens. Only authorized persons within the city administration have access to the pixelated data, so the information from News .

The use of this state-of-the-art technology stands for the will of the city of Neu-Ulm to promote urban development according to modern standards. By gaining a precise impression of the streets and because of having to be on site, the employees are not only more precise, but also more contemporary. The future of the city will be digital - and citizens can look forward to progress.
