Mumbai-Nagpur High-Speed Rail Corridor: Ground data was collected through the LiDAR survey
Mumbai-Nagpur High-Speed Rail Corridor: In order to conduct the ground survey for preparing the detailed project report (DPR) of the proposed Mumbai-Nagpur high-speed rail corridor, the light detection and ranging survey (LiDAR) was started on Friday, March 12, said the National High-Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL). This was done to capture data related to ground survey for the 736 km long Mumbai-Nagpur rail corridor, where an airplane fitted with aerial LiDAR and imagery sensors took the first flight. (
The National High-Speed Rail Corporation Limited, entrusted with the task of implementing the bullet train project, is adopting the light detection and ranging survey technology as it provides all ground details and data in three-four months, whereas this process usually takes 10-12 months by traditional survey methods.
