StreetMapper in 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.
 
StreetMapper uses well-proven laser scanning technology to capture highly accurate measurements at speeds of up to 70 km per hour. A series of laser scanners can be mounted on virtually any vehicle and arranged to suit the specific requirements of the survey project. Each scanner has a range of 150 metres, an 80-degree field of view and can capture up to 10,000 measurements per second. When combined with an on board Global Positioning System (GPS) and Inertial Navigation System (INS) StreetMapper can achieve positional accuracies of up to 3 centimetres. 
The StreetMapper project is part of a framework agreement with the Swedish Road Administration, the national authority assigned overall responsibility for the entire road transport system, to provide survey services.
