Abstract:Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) is a valuable data collection method that is increasingly being utilized within transportation agencies to replace traditional geospatial data collection methods for infrastructure with increased accuracy and better cost- and time-efficiency. This study will identify current and potential uses for LiDAR at SDDOT, including: (1) a preliminary survey for road design; (2) clearance surveys of bridges and tunnels; and (3) a roadway geometry survey for safety analysis. LiDAR data can be acquired using three broad platforms: (1) ground-based; (2) mobile; and (3) aerial. For each potential use, the three LiDAR platforms will have their requirements described, and their costs and benefits analyzed. Based on the analysis, a set of comprehensive LiDAR Surveying and Mapping Specifications for SDDOT will be created. The specifications will outline the acceptable LiDAR platforms and minimum requirements for specific applications. The minimum requirements will be used to recommend an implementation strategy and procedure for the use of LiDAR at SDDOT for the identified and proposed applications. Also included in the project, is an example of field data collection using two commonly used surveying platforms and a detailed description of the preprocessing and postprocessing for a selected construction site at Presho, SD. The goal of the demo is to show the various steps described in the document in practice.
