This year, KiwiRail has initiated a network wide MLS (Mobile Laser Scanning) survey that is nearing completion.  This presentation will outline some of the use-case applications that MLS data has been applied to on behalf of Australian rail operators including the ARTC, Sydney Trains and Metro Trains Melbourne

When combined, LiDAR and Digital Imagery have the capacity to report on many track compliance themes including clearances, signal sighting and worker safety. Being able to visualise and take measurements within an accurate LiDAR point cloud also allows a railroad to utilise LiDAR and digital imagery to uplift their asset database and generate uniquely formatted data to service 3rd party applications. This session will give real word examples of compliance reports and use-cases that have been executed using LiDAR point clouds and geo-referenced digital imagery.
