Application Areas

Routemapper combines high-resolution digital video with positioning and database technology, allowing users to visualise networks and perform a range of measurements and digitisation functions.

The RouteMapper video survey system has been successfully used in the following areas:

Asset management

External Data

  • Asset inventory collection
  • Verification, validation and auditing of existing assets
  • Review and update condition assessments
  • Measurement of asset dimensions
  • Export to external asset management systems and GIS applications

Planning and studies

Digitising point data

  • Signage recording, speed verification, street clutter studies
  • Network performance and safety studies
  • Streetscape improvements
  • Aid to public consultation and decision making
  • Road/ route familiarisation, buses, trains, trams

Engineering design and assessment

TRACS Data

  • Visual inspection of network and road geometry
  • Measurement of lane / footpath widths, height clearances, set-backs
  • Graphical aid to works specifications
  • Reviewing existing highway dataset (TRACS, SCRIM, FWD, surface condition, residual life)

Network Operation

  • Linear network creation (using link / node structure)
  • Traffic management / works planning
  • Record of physical and traffic environments
  • Planning of responses to events and diversions
  • Decision support tool for emergency lane closures and access
  • Aids communication with field staff / public
  • Aid for enforcement activities and assessment of claims

Telecoms Operations

  • Recording existing assets
  • Digitising planned telecoms routing
  • Export to GIS for visual display
  • Displaying existing CAD drawings

Noise Modelling

  • Recording heights of roadside structures
  • Creation of GIS outputs for use in modelling software
  • Display aerial photographs to confirm exact roadside detail
