Mobile Laser Scanning Vehicle

Precision corridor mapping at speed

Mounted to a vehicle, Woods’ Mobile Laser Scanning (MLS) system collects up to one million data points per second while in motion—eliminating the need for road closures or disruptive fieldwork. A high-accuracy GNSS and IMU system tracks the vehicle’s trajectory, while simultaneous laser scanning and panoramic imaging deliver a dense, geo-referenced point cloud enriched with street-level visuals.

The result is an immersive 3D digital environment that enables faster, safer, and more cost-effective mapping for transport assets and corridors.

Woods Mobile Laser Scanning delivers:

  • Survey-grade precision with rapid capture speeds

  • No traffic disruption—data collected on the move

  • Panoramic imagery overlaid onto 3D point clouds

  • Ideal for constrained or high-risk environments

  • Faster modelling and visualisation workflows

Using Mobile Laser Scanning, Woods enables smarter transport infrastructure planning and management—with greater safety, fewer delays, and better data from the start.

Minimise disruption and maximise data density

The combination of accuracy, speed, and depth makes Mobile Laser Scanning an ideal solution for complex transport, infrastructure, and asset mapping projects—especially where minimising disruption and maximising data density are critical.

Mobile Laser Scanning applications include:

  • Urban and rural transport corridor mapping

  • Asset inventory and condition assessment

  • Road and rail clearance analysis

  • Construction tracking and as-built validation

  • Flood and terrain modelling

  • Deformation monitoring for pavements and embankments
