UAV MOUNTED PLATFORMS
GEODETICS PRODUCTS
Rail-mounted platforms are useful for capturing detailed point clouds over extensive corridor routes. For more concentrated analyses of a singular section of rail, or for performing LiDAR scans on areas not exclusively targeting railway lines, UAVs are well accustomed due to their ease of use, rapid set up, and aerial maneuverability.
UAV platforms offer a non-intrusive data collection method, avoiding interruption to train operations along the targeted corridor route. The range limitations of battery-powered UAVs can be overcome with use of hybrid gasoline-electric UAVs, which Geodetics also supports. UAV-LiDAR also proves useful for planning of future rail infrastructure. Rail route identification and integration into existing networks is multi-factorial, and the benefits LiDAR data provides are valuable for all stakeholders involved. The systems can be leveraged to optimize rail route efficiency and assist in environmental consultancy work required for the pre-planning stages. The capabilities of LiDAR offer a dual benefit: the accuracy of the data itself – its reliability and repeatability; and avoiding field visits by survey personnel taking manual measurements, limiting human involvement and risk.
