3D mapping of existing routes in Israel

Israel Railways (ISR) / NAN from VIA Consulting & Development GmbH · September 2018 to May 2022

The planning and project planning processes are based on up-to-date and accurate infrastructure data. This reduces project risk.

As a result, the plans were updated with the determined distances, and the recorded gradients were documented. Quattron engineering (NEXTRAIL GmbH) offers a powerful mobile mapping measuring device for 3D data acquisition optimised for measuring railway infrastructure.

The measuring equipment can be temporarily installed on a train and consists of the following components:

  • GNSS-based inertial navigation system
  • Laser scanner as a detection system for point clouds
  • Camera system for capturing images

Key areas of service

  • Dynamic recording of the infrastructure using the TRAXIMIZER system
  • Evaluation of the measurement data with regard to track axes and relevant elements (such as signals, axle counters, points, balises)
  • Preparation of gradients for ETCS engineering
  • Update of the plans (as-built)
