Solutions to better
inventory, inspect, and maintain
transportation infrastructure.

Managing transportation networks, whether road, rail, or aviation, is a high-risk proposition. Keeping travelers safe, as well as your crew, is of the upmost importance. But the challenges of managing a network aren’t limited to safety, they also include controlling costs, ensuring reliability and boosting efficiencies. As companies look for ways to improve on all aspects of transportation infrastructure management, remote sensing technology such as satellite, UAS, and LiDAR data combined with big data analytics is being looked at to improve safety, reduce expenses, and make better decisions.

L3Harris Geospatial delivers advanced analysis solutions that utilize geospatial imagery and data to help better manage transportation networks and infrastructure. Whether it’s inspecting the condition of rail ties, identifying missing attachments on bridges, or monitoring road weather conditions, we deliver technology that helps you manage data, discover answers, and make more effective decisions. For nearly 30 years, L3Harris Geospatial has been exclusively focused on leveraging remotely sensed data to solve some of the most challenging problems in the industry. Today, L3Harris is firmly established as the industry leader in image science, and with the ever-increasing availability of geospatial data, transportation agencies rely on us for solutions that deliver critical network insights.

Rail

RAILWAY SOLUTIONS

Using traditional remote sensing techniques, we can provide additional insights along the rail corridor or the rail yards including vegetation encroachment, post disaster management (flood extent, subsidence mapping), and engineering focused applications (water runoff, new construction near track corridor with impervious surfaces).

Asset Management

Using terrestrial and UAS imagery collected over a period of time, L3Harris’ rail specific analytics can identify relevant changes that augment the manual inspection of rail lines. This change detection analysis identifies broken ties, fouled ballasts, missing fasteners, and more. When deep learning technology is applied to terrestrial based LiDAR, assets along the rail corridor can be extracted, and using aerial LiDAR data, this capability can extract the rail lines themselves. When SAR data is analyzed, subsidence can be monitored along rail corridors to enable rail operations to correct issues before they become costly problems.

Vegetation Encroachment

Using remotely sensed data, L3Harris’ rail solution supports a vegetation management workflow by identifying dead or dying vegetation along rail corridors that could become hazardous and fall onto rail lines. Output from this analysis provides prioritized areas for crews to remediate.

Post-event Damage Assessment

Leveraging the big data archive available in Amplify, change detection analytics can be executed to detect anomalies between a baseline and data collected immediately after an event, whether that is a storm or accident. This automated approach to post-event damage identification allows an organization to better position repair crews to restore service faster.

This same change detection capability can be utilized for any time period, providing proactive insights on changes occurring on the network. This comparative data can be used for the purpose of predictive analytics.

Highways

Remotely sensed imagery and data are being used to augment ground-based inspection techniques for transportation infrastructure. By delivering high-resolution visual information about the condition of infrastructure, imagery can improve the safety of inspections, provide the ability to prioritize repairs, and reduce overall management costs.

Geospatial Analytics

DOTs are using the scientifically proven analytics in ENVI® to extract information from geospatial imagery and LiDAR data to plan and design infrastructure, as well as to monitor and maintain roads, bridges, and tunnels to ensure the safe movement of people and goods.

Weather Analytics

Helios® weather analytics for safety & mobility provide fast and accurate local ground weather intelligence to assist organizations with real-time decision making. As a real-time ground “weather-observer” which analyzes content from thousands of existing public and private video cameras, Helios provides immediate confirmation of ground weather condition changes at a detailed local level such as Helios road wetness, snow and ice analytics. Helios® delivers “ground-truth” weather conditions and its impacts on critical infrastructure conditions state using machine learning analytics to extract relevant data from existing terrestrial CCTV camera networks.

Asset Management

Combine our ENVI deep learning technology with terrestrial LiDAR or aerial imagery to help identify, tag, and locate assets on bridges, roads, and tunnels.

Aviation

Whether you're flying a drone, an airplane, or looking to accurately map airports or train pilots to fly, L3Harris Geospatial has products and solutions to meet your needs.

Weather Analytics

Helios® can be used to conduct visibility analysis for flight service information and delivered to pilots. Furthermore, Helios® analytics can be used to conduct wind direction and speed analysis by monitoring and detecting movement change of airfield windsocks.

UAS

The Federal Aviation Administration has exclusive authority over the use of airspace in the United States, including the airspace used by UAVs. If you are using a UAV as either a commercial operator and or a government operator to capture imagery, PrecisionPass lets you know if the data captured by your drone meets the required criteria or if it needs to be collected again. The immediate feedback provided by PrecisionPass reduces the risk of failures during the analysis stage, all but eliminating the need to re-fly a mission, so business needs are met in a timely and cost-efficient manner.

AMDB (Aerodrome mapping database)

L3Harris’ AMDBs are accurate and high-quality GIS datasets that can be used to supplement surface navigation in a wide variety of airport-related activities. AMDBs are compliant with multiple industry standards and are comprised of correlated imagery, elevation, and vectors that describe the spatial layout of an aerodrome. Vector data layers represent the geometry of the aerodrome and contain attributes that provide further information characterizing the aerodrome’s features and their functions, such as unique identifiers, surface types, heights, and much more.

Automate and Scale Network Management with Amplify

As transportation companies capture and consume more remotely sensed data, establishing a centralized data management system is necessary to efficiently operate. Users throughout the organization need quick access to the right data to make informed decisions. Leveraging years of success in the defense and intelligence domain, L3Harris has commercialized its advanced data management system in Amplify.

Manage Data. Discover Answers.
Make Decisions.

L3Harris’ transportation asset management platform (Amplify) ingests all types of imagery, video, LiDAR and other forms of remotely sensed data to analyze transportation infrastructure. AMPlify lets users in the field or in an operations center quickly locate critical intelligence with advanced discovery and filtering capabilities so they can make informed decisions with a high degree of confidence.

INTEGRATION WITH TRANSPORTATION OPERATIONS

L3Harris understands the requirements around operations integration and has developed Amplify to work seamlessly with other operational systems such as GIS, work management, and asset inventory.
