IRF Member XenomatiX hosted a delegation comprising twenty delegates from the Saudi Ministry of Transport & Logistic Services, the governmental agency tasked with developing Saudi Arabia’s transportation system and making the Kingdom a global logistics centre.

The tour began at the company’s headquarter in Leuven, Belgium where CEO Filip Geuens and the Application Engineering Team presented XenomatiX’ road lidar technology and its millimetre-accurate pavement measurements. The presentations included a live test drive in a demonstration vehicle followed by an overview of the company’s flagship GIS system RoadViewer, a user-friendly “digital twin” application.

The visit also included exchanges with representatives of the Belgian Road Research Center (BRRC), an institute that has built a solid reputation in road design, construction, maintenance, safety and mobility over its 50-year existence. BRRC and XenomatiX established a partnership in 2018 focused on developing innovative and affordable solutions for performant and cost-effective road management.
