Overview
Mobile mapping is a high-speed surveying technology that uses LiDAR, GNSS, and imaging sensors mounted on vehicles or UAVs to capture detailed geospatial data. This method enables rapid and accurate mapping of roads, railways, urban areas, and large infrastructure projects, making it ideal for asset management, construction planning, and environmental monitoring.
At Encardio Rite, we deliver precise 3D mapping solutions, helping clients streamline workflows, enhance project efficiency, and optimize decision-making with real-time, georeferenced data.
What is Mobile Mapping?
Mobile mapping integrates high-resolution LiDAR, GNSS positioning, and 360° imaging on a moving platform (vehicle, train, or drone) to collect real-time spatial data. This technique is particularly useful for:
- Large-Scale Surveys – Rapidly mapping roads, cities, and infrastructure.
- Difficult Terrain – Capturing data from hazardous or hard-to-reach locations.
- Operational Efficiency – Reducing survey time while maintaining high accuracy.
Key Benefits of Mobile Mapping
- High-Speed Data Collection – Covers large areas in a fraction of the time required by traditional methods.
- Centimeter-Level Accuracy – Advanced GNSS and LiDAR provide precise geospatial measurements.
- Multi-Industry Applications – Essential for urban planning, road surveys, metro projects, and asset tracking.
- Minimal Disruptions – Mapping from moving vehicles ensures traffic flow and operational efficiency.
