SPR-5108: Automated Highway Asset Inventory Using High-Resolution Aerial Imagery and LiDAR Data

This project proposes to develop, validate, and scale an automated framework for extracting and mapping key highway assets from 3-inch aerial imagery and QL1 LiDAR data. Target assets include the number of travel lanes in each direction, pavement section areas, guardrails, and sound barrier walls. Hamilton County will serve as the pilot implementation area due to its diverse mix of Interstate, U.S., and State routes across urban and suburban environments.
