PennDOT project examples of LiDAR in design and maintenance will be discussed. The Webinar will also provide instruction on interpretation of LiDAR data.

Learning Outcomes:
Upon successful completion of this course, the attendee will:
1.Provide a brief overview of LiDAR.
2.Discuss advantages and disadvantages of LiDAR Surveys vs. other survey methods.
3.Discuss the uses of LiDAR in design and maintenance projects and review actual project examples.

Target Audience:
All professional licensees in PennDOT and anyone interested in learning about LiDAR Technology uses in engineering and surveying.
