A mobile road mapping platform has been developed at the Warsaw University of Technology. The device will ultimately be used to conduct sample inventories of engineering facilities and historical objects.

The platform is part of a project implemented by the Faculty of Geodesy and Cartography and the Faculty of Civil Engineering.
– Our goal is the synergy and analysis of multisource data in the road surface inventory, as well as mapping of their surroundings – says Krzysztof Baku?a, PhD, Eng. from the Faculty of Geodesy and Cartography, the project manager.

The most important part of the research is to determine the method of integration of data related to the proper georeferencing, that is providing spatial orientation to geospatial multisource data in a known coordinate system, mutual calibration of navigation systems with a georadar (GPR), a lidar using light in the form of a pulse laser to measure the distance from the object, as well as photogrammetric cameras.
