Field of application > Railway Infrastructure

To guarantee a clear transport over road or rail it is important to have reliable and detailed information of all objects in the corridor. Due to FLI-MAP 400’s superior level of detail and accuracy, it’s the only airborne land surveying system that achieves a full insight in the assets. Even at survey altitudes up to 400 meter. The final accuracy of FLI-MAP 400 makes it suitable for final new route design.

Some application possibilities in the Railway infrastructure
Railway companies carry a big responsibility. Millions of people and companies depend on trains for the transportation of goods and people. Problems with the railway can bring the transport on the surround-ing network to a complete standstill, resulting in delays, frustrations and economic losses. To ensure adequate operation conditions of the network, railway companies must have a clear overview about the conditions, shapes and surroundings of their assets. FLI-MAP is an excellent tool to capture detailed in-formation of the Railway networks.

Also more and more railways are being build or old tracks are being improved/updated to be used for high speed trains in order to meet today’s needs for fast transportation means.

By using FLI-MAP technology, railroad maintenance and construction companies can map their assets with a high level of detail and accuracy. This allows for a wide variety of applications, including:

• Asset Management;
• Topographic Mapping;
• Track Clearances;
• Vegetation Analysis;
• Route Planning;
• As-built Studies;
• Determination of Rail, Slope and Grade;
• Building of GIS Databases;
• Drainage Assessments.
• 3D visualization of existing and new to be build routes.
