Whether you are a manager or an engineer working on the transport network, one of the key enablers to help you complete your tasks efficiently and cost-effectively is knowledge; knowledge of what is on your network as well as its current condition and location. Capturing this information is not always simple, and with an increasing number of vehicles using our networks, gaining access is becoming even more difficult. To make this easier, Omnicom Engineering developed OmniSurveyor3D, a video surveying system that brings the network to your desktop. By capturing data in this way organisations can quickly access any section of their network without having to leave the office, in turn reducing the number of site visits and creating savings in costs, time and carbon emissions.
The key benefits of the system are:
- Significant reductions in the need for track visits, increasing safety and reducing costs.
- Reduction in the use of safety-critical resources and maintenance vehicles.
- Increased rail network safety for employees and contractors.
- Greater understanding of the network and asset locations.
- Improved asset and resource utilisation.
- Greater stakeholder engagement, both internal and external.
Features:
- Easily identify the accurate geographic and linear position/dimensions of assets.
- Build up a comprehensive geospatial/linear database of assets.
- Overlay third party condition data (e.g. track geometry or SCRIM information) within the video to provide a visual context to its network location and surrounding environment.
- Overlay and manipulate virtual objects within the video.
- Undertake signal sighting using built-in signal sighting tool.
- Undertake office-based driver route learning.
- Export spatially-referenced imagery for use with standard GIS/Asset management systems.
