Accuracy comparison of mobile mapping system for road inventory

Abstract

Mobile Mapping Systems (MMSs) stand out as the preferred solution for achieving highly precise 3D environmental models, particularly in urban planning, highway mapping, asset inventory, corridor mapping, traffic safety evaluation, autonomous vehicle, digital twin, and emergency response mapping where traditional aerial or satellite surveys often fall short in providing precise data. Understanding the intricate factors that impact the accuracy of mobile mapping is pivotal to harnessing the full potential of this advanced measurement technique. This study analyzes the spatial accuracy of geographical data produced by the mobile mapping method, considering factors such as the speed of the mobile mapping tool, measurement time difference, camera shooting distance of the produced data, and differences in picture shooting distances. The acquired results were examined for their applicability in the production of inventory along the highway route, revealing their practical usability through analysis and findings. This investigation delves into the proficiency and precision benchmarks of mobile mapping systems, specifically in the context of creating road inventory and supporting decision-making for road systems. The study discusses the usability and accuracy criteria of mobile mapping systems for creating transportation inventory and decision support systems.
