3D mapping of existing routes in Israel

Israel Railways (ISR) / NAN from VIA Consulting & Development GmbH

Israel, September 2018 to May 2022

Digital Map/Digital Twin TRAXIMIZER

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. NEXTRAIL 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)

Special features

A complete digital tool chain including measurement, planning and design for over 1,000 km of track.
