Canadian start-up Lux Modus has tested its Lidar technology as an affordable and easy-to-use 3D data collection platform on a real-world light rail system by participating in the city of Calgary’s Living Labs. A number of years ago, the city’s Living Labs helped Calgary-based Lux Modus successfully test its Lidar technology built for pipeline construction in a real-world, non-pipeline ‘lab’ environment along Calgary’s downtown 7th Avenue transit corridor. Fast-forward a few years and Lux Modus is now leveraging this technology to break down the barriers to entry of collecting, processing and using 3D mapping by creating an affordable and easy-to-use 3D data collection platform. In 2021, it was looking for the opportunity to collect data on a light rail system to get a real-world dataset, so it was a natural fit to participate in the city’s Living Labs once again.
