RAIL & ROAD

In the fast-paced realm of rail and road transportation, precision and efficiency are paramount. Our cutting-edge Lidar technology is here to enhance your transport network operations and decision-making.

Track and Infrastructure Inspection: Lidar-equipped trains, vehicles, and aircraft can conduct track and infrastructure inspections, capturing detailed 3D data of the railway tracks, switches, bridges, tunnels, overhead lines, and other infrastructure elements. This data can be used for condition assessment and maintenance planning.

Safety and Clearance Analysis: Lidar is used to assess clearances along transport corridors, including the distances to nearby structures, vegetation, or obstacles. This information is crucial for ensuring the safe passage of trains and vehicles.

Vegetation Management: Lidar data is used to monitor and manage vegetation along railway tracks and highways. It helps identify areas where trees, branches, or other vegetation could encroach on the railway and live lanes, potentially causing safety hazards.

Route Planning and Design: Lidar data is used to create highly accurate topographic maps and digital elevation models (DEMs) of transport corridors and surrounding terrain. These data aid in route planning and design for new rail and highway projects, helping engineers select optimal routes and avoid challenging terrain.

Tunnel and Bridge Inspection: Lidar technology is employed to inspect tunnels, bridges, and other structures. It can detect structural deformities or wear and tear that may require maintenance or repairs.

By using LiDAR technology, the transport industry can improve safety, infrastructure maintenance, and efficiency. It provides highly accurate and detailed data that allows for proactive maintenance, precise planning, and enhanced safety measures, ultimately leading to more reliable and safe transportation.
