Abstract
AbstractTraffic signs are important roadway assets that provide critical guidance, including regulations and safety-related information, to road users. Traffic signs need to be inventoried by transportation agencies. However, the traditional manual methods carried out in the field are dangerous, labor-intensive, and time-consuming. There is a need to develop alternative methods to cost-effectively inventory traffic signs. The research reported in this paper, sponsored by the U.S. DOT Research and Innovative Technology Administration Program, is to critically assess an alternative traffic sign inventory method using mobile light detection and ranging (LiDAR), and inertial navigation system (INS), technologies. The contribution of this paper is three-fold, as follows: (1) an alternative traffic sign inventory method is proposed using mobile LiDAR and INS technologies, (2) a key LiDAR parameter calibration procedure (including a sensitivity study of the key parameters) is proposed to achieve a desirable traf...
