Power utility requirements which are most effectively addressed by airborne mobile mapping include the following:
1) Right of Way Design and Planning- Route Assessment (involves the collection of accurate terrain information and baseline data for identification of best “right of way” path for the utility corridor)
2) Analysis of Utility Production (Modeling of the utility profile such as the catenaries of powerlines for optimal location of towers, calculation of heat and power distribution)
3) Hazard Assessment (Identification and monitoring of potential utility corridor hazards and obstructions such as vegetation encroachment for prevention and response)
4) Asset Monitoring (Location, tracking and monitoring of assets in right-of-way such as power distribution centers, towers and transfer stations)
The Applanix DSS (and Applanix DSS with LIDAR) is ideal for power utility mapping, producing high resolution and high-accuracy (mapping grade) orthomosaic base maps (for visualization, planemetric mapping, land use assessment along corridor, and editing LIDAR data), stereo imagery (for high resolution visualization and colorization of point cloud data) and LIDAR Digital Elevation Models (for Digital Surface Model extraction, Topographical mapping, Orthorectification, and 3D Modeling). See our case studies for more.

Tuck Mapping utilizes DSS for Power Utility Mapping |
|
Tuck Mapping Solutions of Big Stone Gap, Virginia sought the best available digital camera and position and orientation tools to provide Eagleeye with the ability to acquire exceptional vertical accuracy levels (as precise as one inch), while maintaining the flexibility to offer lesser accuracy levels as required to match client needs. Tuck demanded the reliability and full support of off-the-shelf components, while retaining the flexibility of an easily-tailored system, one that could be used for Power Utility Mapping and many other mapping applications.
