Evaluation of Cost-effective Pavement Deformation Detection Technologies using Mobile LiDAR
Rutting on road surfaces can pose a serious risk of hydroplaning to drivers. The current methods of identifying rutting are time-consuming, expensive, and dangerous. By using mobile LiDAR equipment attached to a vehicle the road surface can be quickly scanned which saves time, labor, does not requires roads to be closed, and does not put data-collectors in possibly dangerous situations.
