StreetMapper in Sweden20/06/2008 |
| Sweden's roads are being mapped in 3D using the latest laser technology developed by 3D Laser Mapping (UK). The laser surveying project is being managed by WSP, one of the worlds leading consultant companies, who are using 3D Laser Mapping's StreetMapper system to create detailed 3D models of the highway network across Sweden. |

StreetMapper, which is a joint development between 3D Laser Mapping and German IGI, was successfully trialled by WSP last year and is now being used in a live project to map 350km of highway network. It uses a series of vehicle mounted lasers combined with an on board positioning system to capture highly detailed and accurate measurements of the road surface, roadside assets and associated features. The StreetMapper 3D models will be delivered by WSP to the Swedish Road Administration to support road construction projects.
