Right-of-way assessment
Hyrail Right-of-Way Scanning Truck
The ProScan LiDAR truck scans the surface of the right-of-way area at speeds up to 30 mph. This technology increases survey accuracy and decreases track time on busy corridors.
The data captured can be used to create a three-dimensional view of the track, ballast and ditch profile, and identify the location of right-of-way assets.

The LiDAR truck was initially designed to replace manual track survey over long distances and remove human subjectivity from the survey process, ensuring proper placement of ballast throughout entire dump. This technology is also being used for PTC asset identification within the right-of-way.
ProScan LiDAR Truck Features
-
GNSS inertial system This technology replaces the standard GPS antenna to provide reliable, continuously available, position, velocity and altitude through areas where GPS outages occur.
-
360-degree camera LiDAR and imaging data validates profile template transitions, and the data can be exported to perform surface modeling.
-
Broad scan area Any plate size can be validated for clearance analysis, and facilities are marked from center gauge top of rail.
-
Herzog ballast train compatible Tonnages can be seamlessly exported to our GPS trains for automated ballast dumping.
-
Increased labor efficiency Reduces the track and time needed for pre-dump survey, and scans are performed by only one Herzog operator.
-
Safer for your employees Employees perform work from inside truck, reducing chance of slipping on unstable ballast.
