Using the LiDAR Technology for Safety, Product Delivery, and Advance Efficiency.
LiDAR has transformed the whole process of working in the transportation industry, whether it’s planning, designing, construction or maintenance, transportation industries are now unimaginable without LiDAR technology.
With aerial lidar, a wide range of area is mapped at a time, this technology makes it very easy to understand the transportation system in a wide area, where drone lidar and mobile lidar, is capable to measure the exact width, elevation, length of a road, gutter around the roads, bends on the road, vegetation around the transport path etc.
LiDAR technology helps Utility Mapping industry in multiple of areas which can be summarized into these 3 sections
GIS applications in the utilities industry benefit from LiDAR technology by providing accurate and rapid surveys of overhead lines and wires. LiDAR data also enables the creation of detailed inventories of key infrastructure elements such as connectors, transformers, and poles. This helps utilities maintain a comprehensive map of as-built infrastructure, including critical facilities like dams and power plants, improving maintenance and operational efficiency.
LiDAR in GIS helps identify and map obstructions that could affect utility infrastructure. By accurately detecting obstacles, such as trees or buildings, utilities can plan for clearing or rerouting efforts to prevent service disruptions. This contributes to enhanced safety, operational reliability, and cost-effective management.
GIS tools combined with LiDAR can quickly locate encroaching overhead wires, light poles, and road signs. This information allows utility companies to address potential issues of encroachment that could interfere with the safe operation of utility systems, helping to reduce risks, improve infrastructure planning, and ensure compliance with regulations.
