Tech talk September 16th by Kyle Ekstrum: 3d Laser Mapping

How this works is a car drives down a roadway at up to 60 mph and the onboard Street Mapper laser scanning system scans and creates a point cloud at a periodic interval and saves the data points. You can then load the data into TerraScan which will generate a 3d model of the roadway and identify any pinch points. This technology is used for route analysis.
