I decided to have a proper look into Continental Mapping today...

Continental Mapping - Statewide Asset Inventory And Assessment For MnDOT
https://www.continentalmapping.com/project-list/statewide-asset-inventory-and-assessment-for-mndot



"A joint task force between the Federal Highway Administration and American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials conducted a study of over 1200 auto accidents across the United States involving serious harm or loss of life despite the presence of guardrails. Their report not only concluded a particular make and model of guardrail end terminal to be defective but a significant portion of end terminals were also installed incorrectly. In light of this report, the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) commissioned Continental Mapping to complete a statewide inventory of end terminals along its roadways to locate, inspect, identify and replace the infringing assets. The Barrier End Terminal Inventory and Assessment (BETIA) original project scope defined 6 end terminal related assets. MnDOT wished to capitalize on the effort by compiling a comprehensive inventory of 13 additional transportation assets within its right-of-way to support other business needs.

Scope of Assets for Inventory
End Terminals Longitudinal Metal Barriers Transitions Cable Barriers Cable Anchors Crash Cushions Signs LRS Centerline Edge of Pavement Paint Striping	Rumble Strips Concrete Barriers Light Poles Traffic Signals Overhead Sign Clearances Bridge Clearances Utility Line Clearances Catch Basins Reference Markers (Mile Markers)

MnDOT selected Continental Mapping to design a database for the desired asset information, develop operations and maintenance documentation for long term maintenance, map all assets, field inspect all end terminals, and report back all findings to MnDOT. Continental Mapping devised a workflow for collection that utilized mobile lidar acquisition, field survey assessment, and proprietary software to optimize the processing, validation, and distribution of data to MnDOT.

Continental Mapping acquired 15,000+ centerline miles of street level imagery and lidar across MN roadways. To date 47,678 safety assets (including 15,500 end terminals) have been collected, identified, extracted, and mapped. Project status and the resulting geospatial data was disseminated to MnDOT through TheGeoAnalyst™, Continental Mapping’s cloud-based project status and 3D data hosting solution.

Benefits:

• MnDOT is now proactively maintaining a single, standardized asset inventory
• MnDOT can more accurately direct maintenance crews to the location of its assets for repair and replacement
• MnDOT is now pushing for higher installation standards with contractors
• MnDOT’s asset inventory can be easily shared with other departments through TheGeoAnalyst"

Here's a closer look at TheGeoAnalyst...



TheGeoAnalyst, looks familiar, no?

Here's hoping "TheGeoAnalyst" is getting used in HD Basemaps For Autonomous Vehicles:





If that were the case, it may not be exactly news worthy? See below:

Enterprise Sales Update – Multiple International Enterprise Sales (31 October 2018)
https://www.asx.com.au/asxpdf/20181031/pdf/43ztkcfrmb8xrh.pdf
"ADAS Sector
The ADAS enterprise sale represents the first application of Pointerra’s unique proprietary data structure technology to support 3D mapping for the autonomous driving industry, an emerging high-growth sector that is forecast to grow to around US$16.8 billion by 2025. (source:Statista.Com)

Pointerra has successfully converted a proof of concept trial into an enterprise DaaS agreement with one of North America’s leading mobile mapping companies, which provides production mapping software for the Autonomous Driving industry.

This new ADAS customer will be using Pointerra’s cloud platform and application development environment to undertake feature extraction and data analytics from its own mobile mapping 3D data as part of its internal production process, at a level of scale and efficiency not possible with its existing legacy platform.

The customer is commencing on a US$9,000 per month DaaS subscription (A$12,500 per month at the current exchange rate), which is expected to grow materially (by at least 2x) during the coming 12 months as the customer scales up their mobile mapping 3D data acquisition activities throughout the US and Canada."
