Precise reliable measurements are absolutely vital for railways, from the consistent distance between a pair of railway tracks to the clearances under bridges and through tunnels.
In the past, taking these measurements accurately was a time-consuming and labour-intensive process for railways, but one that had to be done. Fortunately, the development of 3D laser-based scanning solutions has made this process much more efficient, accurate, and affordable for railways of all sizes.
To learn more about 3D laser scanning and the benefits it provides to the rail sector, Inside Track magazine spoke with Steffen Lutz, Business Development Manager, Americas, Track Survey & Scanning Solutions, in Trimble’s Geospatial Sector.
