Sweden´s roads are being mapped by StreetMapper

25 Jun 2008

A series of vehicles are driving on Sweden´s roads utilizing mounted laser with an on-board positioning system in order to capture highly detailed measurements of the roadside assets, road surface and associated features.

This technology was developed by Nottingham-based 3D Laser Mapping.  It is a joint development between 3d Laser Mapping, German guidance and IGI, a navigation specialist. The sytem is used to map 350km of highway network. The generated 3D models will support road construction projects planned by the Swedish Road Administration.
