Moving vehicles equipped with roof-mounted LiDAR systems have revolutionized road surveys, offering a more efficient, accurate, and cost-effective approach compared to traditional methods. Here's how these systems work and the benefits they bring to road surveying:

How Roof-Mounted LiDAR Systems Perform Road Surveys:

  1. Real-Time Data Collection: Vehicle-mounted LiDAR systems use laser beams to rapidly scan the road and its surroundings as the vehicle moves. The data collected includes detailed 3D point clouds, capturing road geometry, obstacles, and roadside features.

  2. High Precision: LiDAR technology provides centimeter-level accuracy, ensuring precise measurement of road conditions, such as lane markings, potholes, and surface irregularities.

  3. Wide Coverage: These systems can scan a wide field of view, covering multiple lanes and roadside areas simultaneously, reducing the need for multiple passes.

  4. Integration with Other Sensors: Vehicle-mounted LiDAR often integrates with GPS and inertial measurement units (IMUs) for accurate georeferencing of collected data.

Benefits of Roof-Mounted LiDAR Systems in Road Surveys:

  1. Speed and Efficiency: LiDAR-equipped vehicles can survey roads at highway speeds, significantly reducing survey time and minimizing disruption to traffic flow. This speed allows for frequent and up-to-date data collection.

  2. Improved Safety: Surveyors can collect data from the safety of a vehicle, reducing the risks associated with manual surveys conducted on busy roads.

  3. Data Consistency: The continuous data stream ensures consistent coverage and quality, eliminating gaps or errors often found in manual surveys.

  4. Reduced Costs: LiDAR-equipped vehicles streamline the surveying process, reducing labor costs and the need for repeated site visits. The data collected is also reusable for various applications, further increasing cost-efficiency.

  5. Enhanced Asset Management: Detailed road condition assessments facilitate proactive maintenance, helping agencies prioritize repairs and allocate resources effectively.

  6. Accurate Infrastructure Planning: LiDAR point clouds provide accurate road geometry and information on roadside features, aiding in the planning and design of road improvements, expansions, and safety enhancements.

  7. Data Integration: LiDAR data can be seamlessly integrated with existing Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and other road management software, allowing for easy data analysis, visualization, and decision-making.

  8. Environmental Impact Analysis: LiDAR surveys can assess environmental factors such as tree canopy encroachment on roadways, helping plan for vegetation management.

Moving vehicles with roof-mounted LiDAR systems have become a game-changer in road surveying. They offer unprecedented speed, accuracy, and cost-efficiency, making it easier for transportation agencies and road authorities to maintain safe and well-maintained road networks while minimizing disruption to traffic and ensuring data consistency and quality. This technology continues to play a pivotal role in improving road infrastructure management and safety worldwide.

The slider below showcases data captured by our vehicle-mounted LiDAR system during a nighttime scan. On the left side, you'll find the original LiDAR points, while the right side displays the same points viewed in Intensity Mode. This mode is particularly advantageous for nighttime scans, as it empowers surveyors with enhanced control when working with Check Points and Ground Control.

Intensity Mode proves invaluable in low-light conditions, enabling a more detailed analysis of the data. The heightened intensity marks, exemplified by features like chevrons painted on roads, become distinctly visible even in the dark. This heightened visibility facilitates the efficient identification and utilization of check shots, contributing to a more precise and reliable surveying process, especially during nighttime operations.

If you're in need of an accurate geo-referenced 3D LiDAR point clouds with exceptional resolution and detail collected from a moving vehicle, whether it's for road surveying or planning purposes, look no further than LiDAR Drone Australia. Our cutting-edge technology and experienced team are ready to assist you in achieving the highest level of accuracy and efficiency for your project.
