See Your Transportation Network Like Never Before.
Mobile LiDAR creates a precise digital representation of your transportation network, helping agencies inventory assets, assess conditions, identify risk, and make more confident infrastructure decisions.
Collect millions of measurements at highway speeds while minimizing traffic impacts, reducing field exposure, and accelerating project delivery.
Transportation Asset Intelligence begins with visibility.
Why Mobile LiDAR?
Better Decisions Start with Better Visibility.
Transportation agencies manage thousands of miles of roadway and millions of infrastructure assets.
Understanding what exists, where it is located, and how it is performing has never been more important.
Traditional data collection methods often require:
- Extended field time
- Lane closures
- Large crews
- Higher safety exposure
- Limited coverage
Mobile LiDAR transforms the process by collecting highly accurate infrastructure information at highway speeds.
The result is a safer, faster, and more complete understanding of the transportation network.
What is Mobile LiDAR?
Create a Digital Representation of Reality.
Mobile LiDAR combines laser scanning, high-resolution imagery, GNSS positioning, and inertial navigation technologies to create a detailed digital representation of transportation infrastructure.
As the vehicle travels through the roadway network, millions of measurements are collected every second.
These measurements are combined with imagery and geospatial information to create an accurate, location-aware record of existing conditions.
Captured Information Includes
- Roadway geometry
- Asset locations
- Clearances
- Elevations
- Roadside infrastructure
- Drainage features
- Utilities
- Structures
- Signage
- Guardrail
- And much more.
Outcome
A complete digital representation of your transportation network.

Automated Feature Extraction (AFES)
Artificial intelligence and machine learning automatically identify transportation assets and infrastructure features.
Geospatial Intelligence
Integrate information into GIS and asset management workflows.
Transportation Expertise
Maintenance professionals, asset managers, and transportation specialists who understand how agencies use information.
CAPE® Framework
A proven process that transforms data into visibility, understanding, planning, and measurable results.
Outcome
Transportation Asset Intelligence—not just data collection.
