Clearance Measurement Validation For Highway Infrastructure With Use of LiDAR Point Clouds

The Dutch highway network contains more than 3.000 kilometers of roads. Along these roads are thousands of overhead objects such as viaducts and traffic sign gantries. It is essential to have recent and accurate data on the clearances under these objects. This data is important for maintenance and routing oversized transports. Obtaining...

Clearance measurement validation for highway infrastructure with use of lidar point clouds

This paper introduces a method to automatically estimate vertical and horizontal clearances of highway viaducts and gantries from Mobile Laser Scanner (MLS) point clouds. It is essential to have accurate data on the vertical and horizontal clearances of overhead infrastructure objects along the highway. Accurate clearance data is used for...
