Inspection of Road Surfaces

By using the C6-3070MCS for road surface inspection, road authorities and companies can optimize their inspection processes, thus improving the safety and performance of the road network.

Inspection of Road Surfaces Revolutionized with the Modular 3D Profiling Sensor C6-3070MCS

The regular inspection and maintenance of roads is a global challenge that is of enormous importance for road safety. The American company HyMIT LLC and the North German company AT Sensors have jointly developed a groundbreaking solution: the inspection of roads using 3D sensors, one of which alone can scan a road up to 2.8 meters wide without any gaps. And this at an impressive speed of up to 100 km/h.

Challenge

However, monitoring road surfaces is no easy task. Different lighting conditions, the width of the roadways and the different pavement materials pose significant challenges. Many existing systems use two sensors, each covering about 2 meters. However, this configuration often leads to gaps in the 3D scans and therefore incomplete data. “Our challenge was to find a sensor that could provide wide coverage and highly accurate scans at the same time,” explains Robin Huang, Manager at HyMIT.

Solution

The answer to this challenge was found in the innovative technology from AT Sensors. The company developed the 3070 MCS 3D sensor specially designed for road surface testing. This sensor is not only impressive due to its modular concept, but above all due to its high-performance laser, which ensures precise detection of surface structures with an output of 1.7 W at 808 nm. Thanks to its wide field of view, this sensor is also able to scan a road completely and without gaps over a width of up to 2.8 meters.
