APPLICATION OF AERIAL MAPPING TO DEVELOPMENT OF HIGHWAYS

AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY CAN EFFECTIVELY BE APPLIED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING PLANS, ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS, COMMUNITY IMPACT STUDIES, AND FINANCIAL FEASIBILITY STUDIES FOR LIMITED-ACCESS HIGHWAYS. NEW METHODOLOGY AND TECHNIQUES PROVIDE AN EXCELLENT TOOL FOR RAPIDLY AND INEXPENSIVELY DEVELOPING PRELIMINARY DATA REQUIRED FOR TECHNICAL AND SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATIONS. THE ATLANTA TOLLWAY PROJECT IS A $200 MILLION SYSTEM COMPOSED OF 35 MILES OF LIMITED-ACCESS HIGHWAYS AND 10 MILES OF HIGH-SPEED RAPID TRANSIT IN THE MEDIAN. MOST OF THE AERIAL MAPPING TECHNIQUES DISCUSSED IN THIS PAPER WERE USED IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE FINANCIAL FEASIBILITY, THE ENVIRONMENTAL, AND THE COMMUNITY IMPACT STUDIES FOR THE PROJECT.
