Using LiDAR to accurately measure vegetation volumes, proximity to rail (or OLE) and track growth rates over time.
Cordel Connect Vegetation module delivers rapid, accurate vegetation assessments, replacing months-long manual surveys with actionable insights in days.
Enabling proactive management allows railways to enhance safety, reduce costs, and improve operational efficiency. This solution allows railways to track vegetation growth, prioritise encroachments, and optimise maintenance schedules - enhancing safety, compliance, environmental stewardship and network resilience.
Rapid, accurate vegetation insights
Transforms months-long manual surveys into actionable insights in just days. Our AI-driven system processes high-precision LiDAR data to create detailed 3D models of your vegetation corridors, offering centimeter-level accuracy. This rapid processing capability ensures you always have the most current data at your fingertips, enabling timely and informed decision-making.
Tailored analysis for your network
Cordel's Vegetation Module offers customizable profiles and risk assessments, allowing you to tailor analysis to your network standards. By affixing profiles to railheads or electrification, our system provides precise vegetation assessments that ensure that you can address unique challenges and optimize maintenance strategies with confidence.
Seamless integration across systems
Cordel's Vegetation Module seamlessly integrates with existing railway systems, offering intuitive visualizations and detailed reports accessible through our platform or via API. This integration allows railways to track growth rates, predict future encroachments, and optimize maintenance schedules.
Proactive environmental stewardship
Our solution provides a higher degree of compliance to standards whilst also supporting proactive environmental stewardship and increased network resilience through automated quantifiable assessments.
High-frequency vegetation monitoring solution from precise LiDAR data
Vegetation encroachment
Identifies and measures vegetation encroachment into critical railway corridors, enabling proactive maintenance and ensuring safe, unobstructed operations across your entire network.
Vegetation growth rates
Leveraging frequent, high-precision scans, our system accurately tracks vegetation growth rates over time, allowing you to optimize maintenance schedules, allocate resources efficiently, and prevent potential hazards before they impact railway operations.
Vegetation risks scoring
Enabling intelligent data-driven risk scoring combining multiple data points—proximity to assets, growth rates, and historical patterns—to provide a comprehensive risk assessment for each vegetation zone.
What does the vegetation management look like in the Connect platform?
Cordel Connect's Vegetation Management module offers a comprehensive solution for monitoring and managing vegetation along railway corridors. The platform provides precise, up-to-date insights into vegetation encroachment and growth patterns. With intuitive visualizations and seamless integration with existing systems, users can quickly assess risks and optimize maintenance strategies, ensuring enhanced safety and operational efficiency.
