Hardware - Vehicle System
We provide all the hardware you need to collect your survey data.
What is included with each Routescene Vehicle LiDAR system?
We supply a turnkey solution for immediate operation.
There are 4 main hardware components in each system:
LidarPod©
The “LidarPod” is the integrated 3D mapping tool. It is a self-contained unit which includes a LiDAR sensor, RTK Dual Antenna GNSS/INS sensor, data storage and real-time monitoring.
Vehicle support shell
The easy to use Routescene LidarPod is mounted on the roof of the vehicle using a light weight fibreglass \ aluminium Vehicle Support Shell. The shell includes a Roof Rack Mount enabling it to fit most vehicle roof bars, for example, a rental vehicle, allowing rapid deployment.
A second GNSS Antenna is mounted on the front of the shell to provide accurate heading information to the GNSS\INS.
A battery compartment in the nose of the shell provides a simple and quick way to power the system using an off-the-shelf 12VDC sealed lead acid battery.
The shell protects the cables and connectors from the environment and accidental damage. Additionally, it incorporates rubber suspension mounts to dampen unwanted vibrations and shocks caused by travelling on poor quality roads.
Odometer
The odometer measures the distance traveled by the mapping vehicle. It supplies up to 100 pulses per second to enable accurate distance traveled and velocity to be calculated. This information augments the GNSS\INS solution considerably and reduces drift in urban canyons.
Peripherals
To enable you to quickly become operational and proficient with the Routescene Vehicle LiDAR system we supply:
- Robust transit cases and tough equipment bags to ship the equipment in an easy manner
- Product and training manuals
- Routescene’s Survey Operating Procedures
- Online or onsite training
Additionally, you can also opt to include the following in your package:
- Spare LidarPod cables and accessories to ensure minimum downtime
- Expert support and assistance for your first project
The benefits of a Routescene mobile mapping system
Easy to deploy
Portable and easy to deploy. We supply all the equipment for immediate operation.
Robustly engineered
The LidarPod is a sealed unit and no assembly is needed which eliminates user error. Minimal number of external connectors, significantly reducing risk of failure.
Autonomy and security
Our LiDAR solutions do not rely on a mobile phone nor an internet connection to operate. Provides a maximum autonomy, high level of operational and data security.
Weatherproofness
Able to withstand a light rain shower; the LiDAR scanner options are IP67 rated, the LidarPod has IP68 rated connectors and rubber seals to resist water ingress.
Reliable data storage
Internal solid state data storage resistant to vibration during use and rough handling by users. 12 hours of data collection capacity to fulfil a long vehicle survey.
Product conformity
Non-ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) rated so are not subjected to export controls. LidarPod independently CE and FCC certified to ensure it is compliant with electrical and radio transmission standards.
