The invention relates to a surveillance system for an infrastructure and/or for a vehicle, including at least two sensor modules configured to collect respective sensor data from respectively associated sensors; at least one access module being configured to access the sensor data; and a clock module being configured to provide a common time signal at least to two of the sensor modules; wherein the sensor modules are configured to provide the sensor data with a time stamp, wherein the time stamp is based on the common time signal; and the access module being configured to forward the accessed sensor data by taking into account the time stamp so as to provide an enhanced surveillance and/or maintenance system which is suitable for large and/or complex infrastructures, vehicles, and combinations thereof.

Modular surveillance system for an infrastructure and/or a vehicle

The invention relates to a surveillance system for an infrastructure and/or for a vehicle, comprising at least two sensor modules configured to collect respective sensor data from a respective associated sensor; an analysis module configured to access the sensor data; wherein the sensor modules are configured to provide the sensor data with a time stamp; and the analysis module is configured to detect a given event based on sensor data of at least one first sensor module and to associate sensor data of at least one other second sensor module with the event based on the time stamps of the sensor data to provide an enhanced surveillance and/or maintenance system, in particular a system suitable for large and/or complex infrastructures, vehicles, and combinations thereof.
