City Asset Survey Services Using LiDAR Technology Accurate Data Collection for Streetlights, Traffic Signs, Manholes, and Urban Trees
Many organizations still lack clear information about the number and locations of public assets within a city, such as streetlights, traffic signs, manholes, and roadside trees. In the past, data collection often relied on manual field surveys and point-by-point counting, which are time-consuming and prone to inaccuracies.
BIS – B-Innovation by iNFRA Corporation provides City Asset Survey services using LiDAR technology, utilizing survey vehicles equipped with the Mobile Mapping System (AU20). This technology enables rapid, accurate, and systematic collection of urban infrastructure data.
Key Features of LiDAR Survey Services
- Rapid surveying of public assets across the entire city
- Automatic geolocation recording with centimeter-level accuracy
- Creation of digital city asset databases
- Reduction in field survey time and operational costs
- Data ready for integration with urban management systems
Types of Assets That Can Be Surveyed Mobile LiDAR technology can capture a wide range of public asset data, including:
- Utility poles and streetlight poles
- Traffic signs and road signage
- Manhole covers and drainage structures
- Roadside trees
- Roadside utility infrastructure
- Other urban infrastructure assets
All collected information is stored together with geospatial coordinates, allowing immediate use in asset management systems.
Benefits of Data for Urban Management The survey data can be further utilized in multiple areas, including:
- Budget Planning
Helps organizations estimate the actual number of assets and allocate budgets more accurately. - Asset Management
Supports systematic management and monitoring of public assets. - Infrastructure Maintenance
Improves planning and efficiency for maintenance operations. - Smart City Development
Provides foundational data for city databases and Digital Twin development.
Traditional surveys required large teams to manually inspect and count assets in the field. With Mobile Mapping technology, city-wide asset data can now be collected simply by driving a survey vehicle along the roads, enabling faster, more comprehensive, and highly accurate data collection.
