Application of laser in highway engineering abstract.

The high resolution point clouds provided by laser scanning techniques have several applications in construction of tunnels decker and dove 2008 fekete et al 2010 fekete and diederichs 2013 roca pardiñas et al 2014 such as construction survey of tunnels kong and ou 2013 extraction of cross section han et al. Multiple locations can be measured from a single instrument position. Abstract airborne laser mapping integrates three technologies into a single system to produce accurate digital terrain models dtm of the earth s surface. To help understand the way the instrument is used a description of the basic system operation is given followed by a detailed explanation of the main instrument features.

A laser is an optical device that emits coherent light electromagnetic radiation. Application of lasers in highway engineering. It results in rapid measurement and quick data collection. The term laser is an acronym for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation.

Typically lasers are thought of as emitting light in a narrow low divergence beam with a narrow wavelength spectrum monochromatic light. It doesn t require any setup or break down. The laser based system can measure the road profile and deflection accurately while traveling at an average speed. 2013 or feature.
