Automation and Mobile Mapping for Safe and Accurate Pavement Analysis

Proper cross slope of a road surface allows for adequate pavement drainage, thus controlling the tendency for hydroplaning and reducing the water allowed to penetrate and weaken both the road surface and its base materials. Common data collection methods are time consuming and require data collectors to be located on the road, which poses a safety issue. New efficient and economic methods for collecting the data are available using mobile mapping and the technology, results obtained, and the knowledge derived thereof will be examined, as well as a comparison to traditional survey methods. New applications such as this are being developed to increase productivity, provide users with timely and very accurate enterprise data, minimize road crew exposure and create robust information products that serve multiple uses.
