What Is Mobile Mapping?

Mobile mapping involves collecting geospatial data through the use of a mobile vehicle. Vehicle-mounted mobile mapping systems comprise various technologies, including GNSS, laser scanners, LiDAR, cameras and remote sensing systems. The combination of all these technologies allows these systems to collect vast amounts of high accuracy, high resolution data and output it in the form of point clouds, GIS data, video, images or digital maps. 

The main benefit of mobile mapping is that it is much quicker and more efficient than traditional surveying methods. Complex projects can be completed faster, and flexibility around accuracy and deliverables enables you to be as flexible as budget or time allow. In addition, the speed of mobile mapping reduces disruption on site. You can be in and out much quicker, with minimal impact to those working at the survey location. 

Mobile Mapping Applications

The mobile mapping technology KOREC provides covers a range of applications, including highway corridor mapping, asset management, manhole or utility mapping, underground scanning, rail management, construction site monitoring and more. 

KOREC’s Mobile Mapping System Range

For large-scale, very-high-point-cloud-density and image-rich mapping missions, look to the vehicle mounted Trimble MX9. Featuring advanced Trimble GNSS and inertial technology, allowing you to drive at highway speeds to rapidly capture high accuracy 3D spatial data, as well as high resolution panoramic and multi-angle images.

For asset management, the highly portable Trimble MX7 imaging system is designed to capture 360 degree, georeferenced imagery which can then be visualised, interpreted and integrated into a GIS system. Ideal for asset managers who need to build complete inventories for road networks, bridges, railways, highways, and airport infrastructure.

For a complete, end-to-end vehicle based inspection system & issue management, take a look at our KlearView 360 solution. Featuring a 360 degree panoramic camera, simply mount the system on your vehicle roof, fire up the asset inspection KOREC Capture app and begin your mapping mission. Ideal for pavement inspection, road damage, street furniture, and more. View, analyse and create reports easily back in the office, on the K-Portal GIS database system, and issue work management instructions to your mobile workforce with the app.
