Mobile mapping for road safety inspections

October 9, 2015 - Join Matt Kurowski as he discusses FPInnovations’ recent research efforts related to resource road safety inspection service, which collects data using vehicle-mounted systems, and then performs various analyses to identify safety concerns.

This presentation on FPInnovation’s research in completing road safety inspections (RSIs) using mobile mapping systems (MMSs) will review:

• How FPInnovations got started researching this field in 2007;
• The different technologies that are part of MMSs, such as GPS, inertial measurement unit, and LiDAR scanners;
• How they have used collected data to produce road safety inspection reports;
• Trends in safety issues they have found in completing over 1000 km of RSIs; and
• FPInnovation’s recent research about reducing the costs associated with MMS.
