Advanced Rail Infrastructure Mapping Technologies for Train Derailment Mitigation (Poster)

More than 60% of rail accidents were reported due to derailments. The most significant causes of derailment accidents are related to defects of track/wayside elements and impacts of environmental factors. Mobile LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) System (MLS) is an emerging technology enabling rapid engineering grade mapping and virtual surveying over railway infrastructure. Despite its large potential, MLS has been only used for rail track condition assessment. Its potential for railway asset management has not been exploited yet.
