• Abstract:
  The ability to collect infrastructure-related data through automated means continues to expand rapidly. The use of mobile light detection and ranging (LiDAR) scanning (MLS) gives highway agencies the opportunity to collect vast amounts of surface geometric data at highway speeds. The conversion of geometric data into information assists the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) in understanding the nature of the built environment. For roadways and roadsides, this type of information provides details on paved surface design compliance, paved surface drainage, and roadside drainage.
