Maps

Purpose - Visualize a representation of a (physical) real world area

Evolution◦Crude sketches (2D)◦1:x Scale drawings (2D)◦1:1 Scale drawings (2D and 2 ½D)◦True 3D (varying levels)

Virtual world

Traditional As-built Plans

Documents changes to plansRed lines on hardcopy plansNow on CAD drawingsLow priority compared to constructionVery dependent on inspectorMade from rough measurementsNot sealed by engineer or surveyor

For Intelligent Decisions…

We need knowledgeKnowledge:

Acquaintance with facts, truths, or principles, as from study, investigation or information.

Safer, smarter, less disruptive surveying3D Design – advanced visualization, clash

and problem detectionAutomated machine guidance and

intelligent construction systemsSophisticated asset management for

informed decisionsEfficient operation of our highway system

Digital Highways

Future backbone of highway information system enabling:

Highway Lifecycle Data

Digital Highways – entire state systemVisual – image based, solid modelsCreated by existing feature data captureInterspersed by 3D Engineered Models

◦Engineering centerline alignment◦Right-of-way boundary◦Design/As-built◦Asset inventory w/attributes◦Performance data

Operational Needs

See◦Above, on and below the surface

Measure◦Location (geospatial), distance, area, volume

Evaluate◦Age, condition, performance

Find/Query◦Locate, tally, report

Relate◦ Planer, Linear Referencing, adjoiners

14

Page 15: Digital Highways What are they?  Why do we need them? How do we get there?

Operational Needs

Manage Performance◦Safety, traffic volume, weather impacts,

Track History◦Design, construction, documents

Understand Geometry◦Design, as-built, survey, professionals of record

Retrieve Documents◦Contracts, inter-governmental agreements,

plan sets, technical reports

15

Page 16: Digital Highways What are they?  Why do we need them? How do we get there?

Operational Needs

Monitor◦Movement, deformation, degradation

Simulate◦Traffic, oversize routing

Overlay◦Live traffic, micro weather

Point Clouds (for projects)

Full Utilization of Information Rich Point Clouds

From “2½D BaseMap” to “Virtual World”No Traditional (Triangulated) DTMCritical 3D Objects:

◦Mathematically Modeled (geometric solid object)◦Mesh Modeled (reality, imperfect, discreet objects)

3D Feature Extraction ONLY Where Necessary for Design

Certified by Professional of Record
