Two lanes better than one: the XenoTrack Dual Lane system is set up in no time and the measurement vehicle can drive faster than 70kph

The latest version of XenomatiX’s road lidar XenoTrack inspection system covers two lanes in one pass.

XenoTrack Dual Lane was officially launched this month at GeoWeek, a major event for the geospatial and 3D sector that took place in the US city of Denver.
 
XenomatiX, a solid state lidar company specialising in road asset management and digital twins of roads, launched the XenoTrack Single Lane system last year. Now, the company says that with the Dual Lane system, it “took a step-in easing 3D pavement measurement”.

Traditional road assessment systems are limited to measuring the width of one or part of a road lane on each pass. But XenoTrack Dual Lane surveys two neighbouring lanes in a single pass. While the vehicle drives in one lane, the system simultaneously measures the road surface condition of that lane and the neighbouring lane.

All XenoTrack products including the Dual Lane system, use a highly accurate lidar as main component, offering 3D and intensity maps of the road surface.

Additionally, 2D RGB camera images can complement the 6D Road Survey concept. The RGB colour model is an additive colour model in which the red, green and blue primary colours of light are combined to reproduce a broad array of colours. The name of the model comes from the initials of the three additive primary colours - red, green and blue.

Both the Single Lane and the Dual Lane systems fit on any standard vehicle, saving the customer having to invest in expensive and dedicated survey vehicles. The XenoTrack system is set up in no time and the measurement vehicle can drive faster than 70kph, further increasing the efficiency of the surveys.

XenomatiX’s solid state lidars are based on a multi-beam lasers concept and mature, scalable semiconductor technology. The company’s main product lines consist of XenoTrack and XenoLidar. XenoTrack collects and processes a wide range of data to enable applications like digitising the road, IRI (International Roughness Index), rutting analysis and more.

The company is based in Leuven, Belgium, and employs about 50 employees in Belgium, Germany, US and China with a distribution network around the world.

    A wide variety of products are available to help bridge owners reduce the need for costly repairs. Bridges are one of the most expensive structures on a highway system, and their maintenance, and where necessary, repair will save millions over time. Prevention being better than cure means that anything that can be done to reduce the need for repair is a good investment. For example, a MOOG bucket-type inspection unit has been commissioned for the Naini Bridge in Allahabad in the state of Uttar Pradesh, Indi

    Everyone connected with the highway industry is involved in the efforts to cut down the number of work zone accidents. Patrick Smith reports. A few months ago, as road work resumed on America's highways and bridges, US Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood called on drivers to use extra caution in work zones. At the same time he commended the success in reducing overall roadway fatalities in each of the last seven years.

    In the US, considerable experience has been gained with thin white-topping (TWT), with the technique now being used in other countries as well. In the US hundreds of km of TWT is being paved every year, much of it across the mid-western states. A variation of white-topping is being used in Oregon to replace badly rutted asphalt truck lanes on primarily long uphill grades with durable, continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP). Oregon has carried out several of these concrete inlay projects over the
