Mobile Mapping – what is it, and how can it be used on your project?

Mobile mapping is an innovative technology that transforms the way we capture, measure, and analyse the world around us. Utilising state-of-the-art sensors and equipment mounted on moving vehicles, such as cars, trains or specially designed vehicles like Geo Drive Mobile Mapping gather high-resolution geospatial data while on the move.

This approach allows for the efficient collection of vast amounts of data, covering extensive areas that would be time-consuming and costly to survey using traditional methods. Geo Drive Mobile Mapping can collect up to 100km of data in a single day.

How does it work?

At the heart of mobile mapping is the integration of various technologies including GPS (Global Positioning System), LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging),and photogrammetry. These components work in together to accurately capture and record the environment to a high specification working to your requirements.

GPS provides precise location information, ensuring data is geographically anchored. Our system uses two GPS systems for maximum accuracy.  

LiDAR sensors emit laser beams to measure distances and generate detailed 3D models of the surroundings.

Photogrammetry uses photography to capture the physical reality, enabling the creation of maps and 3D models. Our mobile mapper  uses a 360-degree camera and other high-resolution cameras to capture imagery. 

Example of Applications of Mobile Mapping Surveys

Urban planning and infrastructure development Planners and engineers utilise mobile mapping data to design, construct, and maintain urban infrastructure, from roads and bridges to utilities and public transport systems. Read about how you can use mobile mapping for road maintenance . Construction projects You can use mobile mapping to establish a pre-condition survey before construction works starts. The survey can address potential complaints or charges related to road damage caused by construction traffic. Design, construction, maintenance and asset management for power networks We have a huge amount of infrastructure that is both above and below ground which carries our power and utilities across the country. Mobile mapping surveys can help establish where this critical infrastructure is, helping to eliminate any risk of outages to essential services. Mobile mapping survey systems are revolutionising the way we understand and interact with our physical environment. Its ability to rapidly collect and process geospatial data opens up new possibilities for analysis, planning, and decision-making across a range of industries and applications.

Meeting Net Zero targets with mobile mapping

Net Zero initiatives have been applied to roads and highways as part of the drive to decarbonise. The deployment of Geo Drive Mobile Mapping makes an immediate positive contribution carbon reduction as it reduces the disruption to traffic (stop/starting) which can occur with traditional survey methods and, as a result, offers a lower carbon footprint. In a world where the sustainability and maintenance of infrastructure assets are of utmost importance, mobile mapping can play a crucial role by providing accurate geospatial data in an efficient and cost effective way. This data empowers asset owners to make well-informed decisions, ensuring the longevity and efficiency of their infrastructure investments.

What can Geo Drive Mobile Mapping be used for?_

contact

Provide CAD lines accompanied by a dense point cloud view and panoramic view. This will allow clients to immerse themselves in the street environment and gain a better understanding of the surroundings.

Utilise Mobile Mapping technology to access areas that are restricted or inaccessible to drones. By collecting under-tree data, the survey can be augmented to provide comprehensive point cloud information. This data can then be used for volume calculations and other relevant analyses.

Offers a quick and cost-effective survey solution for roads and railway assets using Geographic Information System (GIS) technology. This will enable efficient management and maintenance of these assets.

Perform country or county level verification of road bridges on behalf of road authorities in Ireland and the UK. This verification process will ensure compliance and safety standards for road infrastructure.

Combine topographical (TOPO) and utility surveys simultaneously using Mobile Mapping (MM) technology in conjunction with RAPTOR (GPR system). This integrated approach provides clients with a quick and discreet survey process, resulting in savings on traffic management.

Conduct surveys along road and rail corridors to capture data on vegetation and trees. This information is crucial for identifying potential hazards such as overhanging branches that may impact traffic safety.

Offers a defect detection survey to road authorities in the UK and Ireland. This survey can be conducted using AI algorithms supporting automatic options, allowing for efficient identification and assessment of road conditions.

Enhances safety by assessing highway layouts as well as the positioning of street furniture using spatial data. This assessment allows for the identification of necessary solutions to facilitate the transport or manoeuvring of oversized cargo / vehicles.

Conducts pre-surveys of road corridors to assess feasibility for future pipeline, cabling projects and wind turbine route planning. This proactive approach enables better planning and decision-making in infrastructure development.
