Abstract:The objectives of this research were to test and validate the feasibility of assessing humped highway–rail crossings for safe passage of vehicles with low ground clearance using lidar data. Collected using an airborne platform, lidar data provide georeferenced spatial information about the shape and surface characteristics of Earth. The suitability of humped highway–rail crossings for use by vehicles with low ground clearance and a long wheelbase is a concern because of the possibility of vehicles getting lodg… Show more
