A spray apparatus for a vehicle includes a processing unit with at least one image of an environment. The processing unit analyzes the at least one image to activate at least one chemical spray unit mounted on the vehicle. Air is blown by at least one air blower mounted on the vehicle into a first downward directed air flow with respect to the vehicle. Air is directed by at least one diverter mounted on the vehicle into a second downward directed air flow with respect to the vehicle. A chemical spray unit of the at least one chemical spray unit is positioned relative to one or more air blowers and is positioned relative to one or more air diverters such that ejected liquid chemical is at least partially entrained within the first downward directed air flow and is at least partially entrained within the second downward directed air flow.

An apparatus for weed control includes a processing unit that receives at least one image of an environment. The processing unit analyses the at least one image to determine at least one vegetation control technology from a plurality of vegetation control technologies to be used for weed control for at least a first part of the environment. An output unit outputs information that is useable to activate the at least one vegetation control technology.

Apparatus for weed control

An apparatus for weed control includes a processing unit that receives at least one image of an environment. The processing unit analyses the at least one image to determine at least one mode of operation of a vegetation control technology from a plurality of modes of operation of the vegetation control technology to be used for weed control for at least a first part of the environment. An output unit outputs information that is useable to activate the vegetation control technology in the at least one mode of operation.

The present disclosure relates generally to vegetation detection and, in particular, to a vegetation detection and alert system for a railway vehicle.
