• Abstract:
  This report describes the work that was done to support the development of a chapter for the INDOT Survey Manual on Mobile ; Mapping. The work includes experiments that were done, data that was collected, analysis that was carried out, and conclusions that ; were drawn about accuracy of Mobile Terrestrial Laser Scanning (MTLS) systems. The resulting Manual chapter, located in the appendix, ; defines standards and procedures for preparing, collecting, editing, delivering, exploiting, and archiving electronic mapping data that is ; created for Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT). The purpose of the standards and procedures within this manual is to obtain ; statewide uniformity within the INDOT combined Aerial/Ground Survey process, to establish and maintain MTLS Standards for INDOT ; and contracted consultants, and allow for all of the project data to be effectively managed from conception to completion. These ; standards apply to all projects delivered to INDOT by contracted consulting firms, or exchanged internally within INDOT or between state ; agencies. The standards and procedures are the result of mobile terrestrial laser scanning surveys of two test sites - one urban and one ; freeway - created for this project. After establishing reference control points on the sites, each site was surveyed by four mobile ; terrestrial laser scanning vendors. The results from the vendor data over the test sites, in addition to information in published literature, ; are the basis for the specifications manual. The proposed chapter for the Survey Manual is in Appendix E of this report.
