Over-sized and heavy vehicle mapping
Plotting safe and navigable routes for oversized and heavy vehicles transporting cargo such as mining equipment and wind turbines can be a time-consuming, manual, and expensive process, often requiring physical inspection of the proposed route.
RoadViewer solves these challenges using LiDAR and 360-degree imagery to rapidly map the road corridor at scale and provide swept path analysis services.
1. Our algorithms identify and highlight potential obstacles along the proposed route, such as powerlines, signs, trees, and buildings, as well as curvature and gradient of roads.
2. Once the potential obstacles have been identified and the road corridor mapped, we use our advanced swept path analysis tools to work with clients to define the optimal route for oversized and heavy vehicles.
This output can be provided for detailed review via 2D shape files, 3D point cloud and imagery videos, or desktop analysis via our RoadViewer web portal.
Our advanced vehicle swept path analysis tools define the optimal route for oversize and heavy vehicles.
Using Hawkscan technology supplied by our partner HyPoint Solutions, vehicles can be accurately scanned in real-time and imported into our database or dimensions by the touch of a button to enable a correct and lifelike path analysis of a specific vehicle or abnormal loads.
Another benefit of mapping the road corridor for oversize and heavy vehicles involves identifying suitable spaces for potential roadside parking opportunities, and facilitating rest breaks or maintenance crew parking.
