Lidar Trolleys
Lidar scanning creates a 3D point cloud of your track and the right-of-way; mapping the positions and dimensions of everything within sight. This highly versatile technology can be used for a wide variety of purposes including:
- + Structural clearances and platform gauging
- + Ballast profiling
- + Rail position and track centerline mapping
- + Overhead line mapping and measurement
- + Sign heights and distances to track and crossings
Reporting can be tailored to your unique needs including metric or imperial units, short and long chord, run-over-run
OCS Height, Stagger, and Wear
The overhead wire can be automatically detected and extracted from the lidar point cloud in order to measure its height above the rails and its lateral stagger.
The user can set custom limits for both height and stagger and the locations of any line that is out-of-spec is automatically determined and reported.
Track Clearances/Infringements
Track clearance can be measured automatically and evaluated using both a custom static vehicle envelope as well as a custom dynamic envelope that is automatically widened according to track curvature (in and out-swing).
The user can set custom limits for infringement and the locations of infringements are automatically determined and reported along with the length of track impacted by the infringement.
The user can also make manual measurements between any two points in the lidar point cloud to determine dimensions even in cases there is no actual infringement.
