Mobile Lidar Mapping.
The Sanborn mobile lidar mapping survey solution is designed for collecting high accuracy lidar data over large areas where it would otherwise be impractical with static lidar sensors or other traditional survey methods, but requires an accuracy and resolution that exceed the deliverables available through current airborne technologies. With a system delivering better than 2 cm accuracy, Sanborn mobile lidar mapping products and services offer unprecedented 3D detail from such a small single scanner system. This advanced mobile mapping system can combine lidar with high resolution imagery and/or video to meet the accuracy required for most applications and solutions.
Sanborn Mobile Lidar Mapping Technology Benefits.
Mobile lidar mapping technology delivers products and services that excel in:
- Safety: collection at posted highway speeds without risking personnel in traffic to collect road/rail/survey data
- Collection Efficiency: 100x faster than conventional survey means
- Accurate Positional Processing: integrating survey control, GNSS, and IMU data
- Delivery: data delivered in standard formats, and immediately available in CAD or other software packages
- Cost & Schedule Effectiveness: virtual survey means no return to the field to pick up “missed” features
- 3D Visualization Excellence: accurate and complete detail capture of structures, roads, infrastructure, etc.
Sanborn Mobile Lidar Mapping Applications.
The Sanborn mobile lidar mapping system provides modular scanning integrations to meet the requirements for today’s applications and solutions.
Transportation and Highway Applications
Sanborn mobile lidar mapping provides a remarkable capability for the rapid 3D mapping of transportation, highways, infrastructure, and buildings using vehicle-mounted lasers. It is a proven solution for collecting lidar data over large areas where surveys are impractical with static lidar sensors and require an accuracy and resolution exceeding those available from airborne technologies. Traveling at normal road speeds, day or night, the system offers a 360° field of view with high-precision mapping at very long ranges. Capturing features along a roadway corridor — including road barriers, road surface, curbs, and pertinent clearance features including overhead wires and signs — surveyors can create highly accurate 3D digital models for:
- Analysis of and inventory road infrastructure
- Road surface conditions
- Bridge structure and overhead clearances
- Asset management for cities and counties
- Location of enroaching overhead wires, light poles, road signs, etc.
Transportation and Highway Benefits
- Rapid, accurate collection of all features, allowing additional information and products to be generated from the data
- Collection of data at road speeds eliminates surveyor safety issues and traffic impact
- Can be used in emergency response for both emergency and tactical planning, with potential uses for insurance and property inventory
- Can be used to supplement or QC other sources (airborne lidar, GIS, orthoimagery)
- Adds vaue to survey as a current “snapshot” of as-built structures allowing for “near” real-time updates as change occurs
- Obtains data under canopies, tunnels or overhead obstructions
Utilities Applications
Sanborn mobile lidar mapping provides robust 3D mapping of overhead wires, utility, and power infrastructure including substations and power transmission corridors (when mounted on an ATV).
Utilities Benefits
- Accurate / rapid survey of overhead lines and wires
- Complete inventory of connectors, transformers, poles, etc.
- Accurate and rapid identification of obstructions and encroachments within utilities rights-of-way
- Mapping as-built infrastructure for dams, power plants, etc.
Airport Applications
Sanborn mobile lidar mapping provides remarkable capability for the rapid 3D mapping of airports, structures, runways, terminals, access areas, to support FAA NextGen
Initiatives, etc.
Airport Benefits
- Complete and accurate survey of airport facilities, runways, infrastructure, etc.
- Detailed and complete survey of critical infrastructure such as power plants, communications facilities, gas distribution hubs, etc.
- Accurately survey as-built government facilities and properties for inventory purposes, asset management, environmental and security purposes, etc.
- Support for Homeland Security by creating accurate, super high-resolution terrain maps and 3D datasets for analysis and planning.
