In modern infrastructure and transportation projects, accurate detection and monitoring are critical for operational safety. Benewake has developed the 3d lidar sensor AD2-S-X3 to address these challenges, providing reliable detection capabilities in complex environments. Its advanced design allows precise mapping of surroundings, which is especially valuable in scenarios requiring real-time awareness, such as rail collision prevention and bridge protection. The sensor’s high-resolution scanning ensures detailed data collection, supporting safer and more efficient operations.

Applications in Industrial and Railway Safety
The 3d lidar sensor from Benewake is widely applied in industrial and railway safety contexts. For instance, on railways, it can detect obstacles on tracks and alert systems to potential collisions, enhancing overall safety. Similarly, it contributes to bridge monitoring, where accurate distance measurement and environment mapping help prevent structural accidents. These applications highlight the sensor’s capability to function effectively in high-risk zones without relying on external conditions, such as lighting or weather.
Optimizing Monitoring in Challenging Environments
In addition to transportation infrastructure, the 3D LiDAR sensor plays a role in environmental monitoring. Benewake has implemented the AD2-S-X3, a high-performance 3D LiDAR with software-definable specifications and automotive-grade reliability, in areas prone to landslides. Its flexible ROI (Region of Interest) allows denser point clouds in critical zones to detect even small objects, while offering a 200 m range at 10% reflectivity and up to 500 m for extended measurements. Integration into highway key area monitoring and road traffic management ensures continuous and accurate data collection. By leveraging its 120°×25.6° field of view, 0.1°–0.2° resolution, and 10 Hz frame rate, AD2-S-X3 enhances situational awareness for operators and facilitates proactive maintenance and safety measures.
Conclusion
Overall, the 3d lidar sensor from Benewake offers versatile and reliable sensing solutions for industrial, railway, and environmental safety applications. Its precision, real-time capabilities, and adaptability to challenging scenarios make it a valuable tool for organizations focused on preventing accidents and optimizing operational efficiency. With continuous monitoring and detailed mapping, AD2-S-X3 supports safer infrastructure and enhanced decision-making.
