The document discusses using a Mobile Mapping System (MMS) to manage and plan urban trees. MMS was used to capture 3D geospatial data of trees in a pilot area of Alcorcón, Spain. This data was then used to create a Geographic Information System (GIS) to improve urban forestry planning and management. The methodology involved collecting topographic data, photos, and point clouds of trees using MMS. The results provided accurate 2D and 3D maps in shapefile and DXF formats. In conclusions, MMS allowed quick mapping updates and integrated views of trees. It was found to be an effective non-invasive method for improving urban green space management.

4. INTRODUCTION1.
OBJECTIVES
✓ To make a planning and management of urban trees in Alcorcon with reference to a
pilot area in which we used a set of Geographiv Information System (GIT), mainly
System Mobile Mapping (MMS) is able to capture images in three dimensions (3D)
geolocated, generating a point cloud to perform any measurement in 3D.
✓ To create a Geographic Information System (GIS) to include the new 3D visualization
along with possible improvements in the planning and management of woodland urban.

CONCLUSIONS4.
Management and planning of urban trees
by Mobile Mapping System (MMS)
➢ El levantamiento topográfico 3D del arbolado urbano realizado por el Sistema
Mobile Mapping ha permitido la obtención y/o actualización de cartografía de
forma rápida y precisa. Aporta una visualización integrada de la realidad.
➢ La tecnología MMS se ha utilizado con éxito en entornos urbanos y esta
experiencia ha demostrado que es viable para agilizar la gestión de áreas
verdes: desde el estudio integral de la red de paisaje, rediseño de zonas, la
preservación de espacios, inventariado de vegetación, inspección de la
superficie pavimentada, foto-logs, simulación, etc.
➢ Hoy aún hay una gran demanda de herramientas informáticas para la realización
y gestión de inventarios de arbolado y zonas verdes urbanas.
➢ La información que se proporciona con esta forma de trabajo se puede utilizar en
diferentes formatos, incluyendo dispositivos miniaturizados tales como teléfonos
inteligentes y tabletas, esto dará lugar a la optimización de la gestión.
➢ Esta metodología es fácil y rápida de aplicar. El costo puede ser alto, debido a
que el MMS se mantiene como un sistema caro para área pequeñas y medianas.
➢ Es un método no invasivo y como tal puede ser recomendado para este tipo de
operaciones.

10. CONCLUSIONS4.
Management and planning of urban trees
by Mobile Mapping System (MMS)
➢ The 3D survey of urban trees by the Mobile Mapping System allows to prepare and / or
update maps quickly and accurately. It provides an integrated view of reality.
➢ MMS technology has been used successfully in urban settings and this experience has shown
that it is feasible to improve the management of green areas: from the comprehensive study
of the network landscape, redesign of areas, preservation of spaces, inventory of vegetation,
inspection of the paved surface, photo-logs, simulation, etc.
➢ The information provided with this form of work can be used in different formats, including
miniaturized devices such as smart phones and tablets, this will lead to the optimization of
management.
➢ This method is easy and quick to apply. The cost can be high, because the MMS remains an
expensive system for small and medium area.
➢ It is a noninvasive method and as such can be recommended for such operations.
➢ Today there is still a great demand for tools for the implementation and management of
inventories of trees and urban green areas.
