Abstract This case study highlights LiDAR technology as a surveying tool to support current transportation agency business applications and the true value of combining 3D survey data from multiple sources, such as traditional surveying equipment (i.e., robotic total stations, Global Navigation Satellite Systems or GNSS, photogrammetry, and LiDAR sensors) by the California and the North Carolina Departments of Transportation. It is offered as a general aid for those considering starting similar programs or enhancing existing ones. It provides two examples of how state transportation agencies might expand the use of 3D engineered models.
