For those of you in transportation !
“Research conducted by the Advanced Highway Maintenance & Construction Technology (AHMCT) Research Center at the University of California at Davis in conjunction with Caltrans in 2006-2007 found that using 3D laser scanners could "dramatically
improve safety and efficiency over current survey methods."¹ The results of the research, published in a June 2007 report, provided the standards and guidelines Aguilar needed to deploy laser scanning on a major Caltrans project.”
