3D Pavement Surface Profiling/Analysis

One of our key services is 3D Pavement Surface Profiling/Analysis, which leverages cutting-edge LiDAR and photogrammetry technology to digitize road surfaces. By collecting highly accurate data, we can assess the current condition of the pavement based on industry specifications such as the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) or the International Roughness Index (IRI). This data is invaluable for construction companies and state or government agencies, as it provides insight into necessary repairs, such as determining the amount of milling or paving required. Additionally, this information helps us create machine control models for construction equipment to follow, ensuring precise execution throughout the project. Few companies in the Northeast possess the mobile LiDAR equipment we have, making us one of the best in the region for this specialized service. This service is ideal for paving contractors, pavement marking contractors, and any construction project requiring longitudinal line marking.

Digitizing and Geolocating Plansets

In the construction industry, many automated machines—like layout trucks, robots, and GPS rovers—depend on a geolocated CAD file (or base map) containing essential line work, such as pavement markings and centerline alignments. These machines require precise geolocated paths to function accurately.

When plans are based on surveyed data that isn’t geolocated SOLO GS can update the file. We have the tools to take minimal data inputs, such as pavement edges, curb lines, and centerline alignments, and build a complete set of line and point work. Additionally, we can convert this data into any coordinate system required, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of automated equipment.

GNSS As-Built Surveys

Our services also include GNSS As-Built Surveys, a crucial tool for construction contractors who need accurate, up-to-date documentation of a project’s existing conditions. Using state-of-the-art GNSS equipment, we can quickly and safely collect data to generate detailed maps and plans, or to track the progress of ongoing construction projects. This ensures that projects stay on schedule and meet the necessary requirements. Our commitment to high-end equipment allows us to offer fast and reliable as-built data, making us a preferred choice for contractors throughout New England.

GNSS Construction Centerline Alignment

Finally, GNSS Construction Centerline Alignment is another key service we provide, designed to ensure accuracy in road construction projects. This service establishes a smooth, straight line down the geometrical center of roads and highways, which serves as a reference point for the placement of key road elements such as guardrails, curbs, and paving passes. This precise alignment is critical for ensuring that all road elements are installed accurately and efficiently. With our advanced data capture hardware and automated extraction software, we can guarantee a perfectly straight centerline, allowing contractors to work with the highest degree of accuracy.

GIS Mapping for Roadway Assets

GIS Mapping is an essential service for state and federal agencies, especially those managing roadway assets and infrastructure. At Speed Of Light Optics, we use the latest geolocated photogrammetry and LiDAR technology to capture detailed data on assets such as curbs, pavement, markings, signs, poles, and more. This data is essential for building accurate GIS models that can help agencies manage assets more effectively. Our deliverables are highly flexible and can be customized to suit your specific needs. We provide point lists that contain essential data, including latitude, longitude, elevation, and asset description, or ESRI Shape files that detail attributes such as item description, size, height, condition, and more. These data sets are crucial for asset management, helping agencies maintain and improve roadway conditions. What sets Speed Of Light Optics apart is our use of state-of-the-art mobile data collection equipment. Our technology allows us to capture detailed, accurate data while keeping traffic flowing smoothly. In addition, we partner with a specialized GIS data extraction company, ensuring that our data extraction process is fast, reliable, and detailed. This combination of advanced equipment and expert data processing makes us a leader in GIS Mapping for roadway asset management.

Automated Layout Services

In addition to surface profiling, we offer Automated Layout Services that transform the traditional approach to marking roads and construction sites. These services involve marking lines and points on new asphalt or construction areas, which are crucial for guiding pavement marking trucks or paving equipment. Historically, this process required workers to be on the road, exposing them to potential safety risks. However, we’ve revolutionized the process by using GNSS, LiDAR, and photogrammetry to collect data in advance, creating a digital model that our automated layout vehicles follow. These vehicles, equipped with GNSS technology, ensure accurate layout without the need for manual intervention. This service is especially beneficial for pavement marking contractors and paving contractors looking for safe, efficient, and precise layout. At Speed Of Light Optics, we are one of the few providers in the region who utilize machine control technology to this extent, ensuring straighter, smoother results.

Pavement Marking Scanning

In addition to retroreflectivity surveys, we offer Roadway Pavement Marking Scanning, a mobile solution for capturing detailed data on the position, color, thickness, and material of pavement markings. This service is invaluable for pavement marking contractors and state/government agencies involved in highway data extraction and maintenance. Our equipment is the most advanced available for capturing this type of data, ensuring that every aspect of the markings is accurately recorded. Whether you're a contractor looking for detailed measurements or an agency needing comprehensive highway data, Speed Of Light Optics provides the technology and expertise to deliver results you can trust.
