Geomatics in Transportation Engineering

Geomatics encompasses spatial data systems, geospatial technologies, and information tools used to collect, store, analyze, and visualize geographic data. Its applications are critical for modern transportation infrastructure planning, monitoring, and safety.

Research Projects

1. Geomatics for Transport Infrastructure

   • Spatial modeling of roads, railways, and urban mobility networks.

   • GIS-based optimization of infrastructure projects.

2. Geomatics for Road Safety Studies

   • Hotspot identification using geospatial accident data.

   • Risk mapping and predictive analytics for safer road design.

3. Geodetic Monitoring Systems

   • Development of high-precision deformation monitoring networks (e.g., bridges, tunnels).

   • Integration of GNSS, LiDAR, and InSAR for real-time infrastructure assessment.

4. Multi-Sensor Geodetic Fusion

   • Synergistic use of terrestrial lasers, drones, and satellite imagery for 3D mapping.

5. Topographic & Geodetic Roadway Monitoring

   • Detection of subsidence, wear, and structural anomalies in pavements.

6. Quality Assurance in Geomatics

   • Standardization of data collection/processing for ISO-compliant accuracy.

   • Error modeling in geospatial measurements.
