Debris deflection and removal method for an apparatus and method for gathering data from sensors oriented at an oblique angle relative to a railway track

Abstract:

A system and method for inspecting a railway track using sensors oriented at an oblique angle relative to a rail vehicle on which the system is traveling. The use of an air blower, ducts, and one or more air distribution lids over the sensors helps remove debris from blocking the sensors and structured light generators.
