In February 2014, Continental Mapping was contracted to map an
intersection improvement project for Tennessee DOT (TDOT). This
intersection had been an area of concern given the deadly accidents
that have occurred there.
The project required large scale mapping using low altitude digital
imagery and high resolution airborne lidar. The airborne lidar was
essential to characterize the terrain beneath heavily vegetated areas,
thereby reducing the need for ground surveys to supplement the terrain
data. This expedited the project schedule by delivering accurate 3D
terrain data. Low altitude digital imagery was used to accurately survey
existing roadway features and pertinent structures within the designat-
ed area of interest.
The aerial survey was accomplished by using state-of-the-art
airborne digital sensors. The work was performed at an optimal
time frame when vegetation conditions were dormant. Project data was quickly
extracted from original digital sources and delivered within the project performance
schedule. The project resulted in current 3D digital mapping data including a terrain
file composed of both photogrammetric and airborne lidar elevations. This terrain file
was suitable for use with road design software in project adjusted coordi-
nates, per TDOT design specifications.
