• Abstract:
  Mobile Terrestrial Laser Scanning (MTLS) is an emerging technology that combines the use of a laser scanner(s), the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), and an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) on a vehicle to collect geo-spatial data. The overall research question addressed in this project was: what are the parameters that can enhance the integration of this technology into Caltrans workflow to achieve leaner operations in maintenance, design, and construction and to improve the safety of Caltrans workers? In response to this rather broad question, this research aimed to identify the technical issues important to understanding the MTLS technology, its cost-benefits, and the key parameters to facilitate its integration into Caltrans' operations for leaner and more efficient operations.
