Panpro builds a successful new road safety business based on powerful integration of LiDAR and accurate georeferencing tools from OxTS.
Panpro had spotted a gap in the road construction industry, and a golden opportunity to improve road safety, by providing traffic authorities with data about sight distance (the distance a driver can see ahead or behind them) on their road networks. Using that data, authorities could use signage to improve road safety on existing roads, and plan new roads with these distances in mind.
Panpro had an innovative solution for mapping and simulating these distances using pointcloud data – but the team needed a way to accurately georeference its pointcloud data to maximise its effectiveness and the solution’s affordability.
