Keep Railway Projects on Track with Mosaic and AirView
Our cameras aren’t just for cars! AirView and Mosaic mounted a camera onto a train to capture georeferenced imagery of railway corridors.
Railway Inspection
Mosaic 360° cameras are ideal for gathering data with the sub-centimeter accuracy required by rail authorities
Client testimonials
I really appreciate that Mosaic doesn’t lock us into proprietary formats or software. That flexibility has made it much easier to tailor our pipeline and continue experimenting as needs evolve.
For our [railway infrastructure] customer, it was necessary to transform the coordinate system, create vector trajectories, and meet other specified standards. The Mosaic X’s imagery far exceeded their requirements and greatly improved our project’s quality.
It's amazing. We chose Mosaic X because our railway and highway clients are quite demanding. After comparing the Mosaic X to other cameras, it was clear this was the best solution for us. We don't have to worry about the image quality, and have been able to grow our business thanks to this newfound efficiency. In the last month alone, we've had five new data collections with no problems.
Why choose Mosaic for railway inspection?
Survey-scale coverage without disrupting operations
Railway networks span hundreds – sometimes thousands – of kilometers, making condition monitoring through traditional land surveying impractical at scale. Mosaic mobile mapping cameras mounted on hi-rails or locomotives can capture the entire corridor at operational speeds, without closing lines or interrupting services.

What once required months of manual fieldwork and enormous crews can be completed in a fraction of the time, with the resulting imagery available for remote inspection the moment processing is complete.
Precise, compliant as-built documentation
Railway reconstruction and infrastructure projects require comprehensive visual records for compliance, handover, and future maintenance. Mosaic cameras can be mounted directly onto rolling stock to capture high-resolution, georeferenced panoramic imagery at defined intervals along newly completed tracks.

The resulting documentation meets the strict positional accuracy and data standards demanded by rail authorities, giving project teams and asset owners a reliable, reusable visual record from day one.
Corridor data that keeps delivering value
A single capture pass creates far more than a snapshot – it produces a reusable spatial asset that supports multiple workflows over time. High-resolution, georeferenced 360° imagery from Mosaic camera systems can be integrated into GIS platforms, enabling engineers, planners, appraisers, and asset managers to virtually inspect the corridor from their desks, long after fieldwork is done.

From asset inventory and encroachment review to valuation and stakeholder reporting, one field campaign can answer questions that haven’t even been asked yet.

Customer success story: Field builds innovative MMS with Mosaic X and LiDAR to scan railways in Norway with high precision.
360° cameras on trains are helping railways stay up-to-date, safe, and efficient.
Mobile mapping is not restricted to automobiles and roads. Railway companies are also using 360-degree cameras and MLS systems aboard their trains and hi-rails to map and monitor the tracks.
