Mississippi DOT using LiDAR technology for road construction projects

January 12, 2022

The Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) is using light detection and ranging (LiDAR) technology to improve efficiency and safety in the construction and maintenance of road projects around the state.

LiDAR is a method for determining ranges or distances by targeting an object with a laser and measuring the time for the reflected light to return to the receiver. The reflected light data is then converted into distance measurements creating a 3-D model of what was measured, according to a news release from MDOT.
