Railway Mapping Service
Fast and Accurate Digital Footprint of the entire Corridor, delivered to your desktop
We collect geometry and location of all assets within the Right of Way using Hi-rail vehicles at travel speed.
Reality IMT's Railway Mapping Services provide a revolutionary approach to rail infrastructure management. We deliver a comprehensive video log of your entire rail network within days, offering an immediate visual understanding of your assets. This isn't just a simple video; it's a meticulously captured, high-resolution record of every track, signal, and surrounding feature. Complementing the video log, we provide the complete Right-of-Way (ROW) geometry in a universally compatible format, seamlessly integrating with your existing systems. Our advanced Hi-Rail vehicle is equipped with state-of-the-art Panoramic GPS cameras and LiDAR technology. This powerful combination ensures that every inch of your rail network is mapped in a single, efficient run, eliminating the need for multiple passes and minimizing disruptions. We capture not just the visible surface, but also precise three-dimensional data, enabling detailed analysis and informed decision-making.

Leveraging Cutting-Edge Technology for Enhanced Rail Management
The integration of Panoramic GPS cameras and LiDAR technology is the cornerstone of our service. Panoramic cameras capture a 360-degree view of the rail network, providing a complete visual record. LiDAR, or Light Detection and Ranging, uses laser pulses to create a highly accurate three-dimensional point cloud of the environment. This data is then processed to generate detailed maps and models of the rail infrastructure. The result is a level of detail and accuracy that surpasses traditional surveying methods. By combining these technologies, we deliver a comprehensive and reliable data set that empowers our clients to make informed decisions, improve efficiency, and enhance safety across their rail operations. Our service reduces the need for manual inspections, minimizes track occupancy, and provides a safer working environment. The speed and accuracy of our system provides a significant advantage for those responsible for maintaining and building modern rail systems.
