The Application of Doppler LIDAR Technology for Rail Inspection and Track Geometry Assessment

The ability of a Doppler LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) system to measure the speed of a moving rail vehicle in a non-contacting manner is extended to capture the lateral and vertical irregularities of the track itself and to evaluate the rail track quality. Using two pairs of lenses to capture...
