 Industry Experience

  • Since 1995 FLI-MAP has mapped over 55,000 miles of railway in the USA.
  • Internationally, FLI-MAP has been used in more than 20 countries on 6 continents.
  • Over 500 mobilizations for railway clients.

FLI-MAP data can be used for a variety of applications in the rail industry:

  • Engineering and design
  • GIS and database population
  • Analysis of overhead electrification
  • Positive Train Control (PTC) database
  • Base mapping

FLI-MAP's low operating altitude and data collection speed ensures a very high laser point density, providing the highest level of detail and accuracy available today from an airborne LiDAR system. Combined with high quality imagery, FLI-MAP LiDAR data provides a complete picture of each survey site.

 

 FLI-MAP captures 3-D information on above ground features:

  • Ground profile (DTM)
  • Top of Rail
  • Switches / frogs
  • Mileposts / signals
  • Overhead Wires & Crossings
  • Buildings
  • Vegetation

FLI-MAP data can be provided in a variety of formats and tailored to individual customer requirements:

  • Microstation
  • AutoCAD
  • Topographic Mapping
  • Base Mapping
  • GIS formats
FUGRO's proprietary FLIP7 software enables viewing of LiDAR and image data, manipulation, automatic filtering, feature extraction and mapping of objects from the data. End products can be delivered in a variety of engineering, CAD, or GIS formats. Data processing can be done by JCLS staff, consultants familiar with FLIP7, or FLIP7 can be supplied to the client along with training to enable data processing to be done in-house. Contact JCLS for software and training options.
