From Blind Spots to Data-Driven Decisions: Solving Pavement Evaluation Challenges with Leica Geosystems and TopoDOT

This joint presentation by Leica Geosystems and TopoDOT unveils a significant advancement in mobile mapping workflows: the seamless integration of International Roughness Index (IRI) analysis directly from point cloud data. Traditionally derived through specialized equipment and time-intensive surveys, IRI, an essential indicator of pavement quality, can now be extracted efficiently and accurately using TopoDOT software applied to data captured by Leica Geosystems' mobile mapping platforms. By incorporating this feature into the mobile mapping ecosystem, Leica and TopoDOT offer a smarter, faster, and more cost-effective solution for transportation agencies, infrastructure managers, and survey professionals. Attendees will learn how this innovation eliminates the need for redundant pavement-specific surveys, enhances safety by minimizing field time, and delivers actionable surface condition metrics alongside high-resolution geospatial data, all from a single data collection. This session will present real-world examples, workflow integration, and value-driven insights to showcase how IRI capabilities elevate the utility and ROI of mobile mapping investments.
