Gold Coast Highway — 3DGS Verification Loop

A live highway corridor, captured in a single ~10-minute pass — RTK + SLAM LiDAR + camera array, walked entirely from the pedestrian path. Processed onshore in QLD into a georeferenced point cloud and a photoreal 3DGS model, with vector data extracted and the model published within a day — by one person.

Gold Coast Highway — 3DGS Verification Loop
The Challenge

A live highway corridor cannot be closed for survey. Traditional methods need lane closures, traffic control, and repeat site visits — slow, costly, and a safety exposure.

And the deliverable usually can’t be checked by everyone who needs it — QA, HSE, as-built, GIS and survey teams each wait their turn, often on separate site visits.

The Verification Loop

One pass. Verified by everyone.

  1. 01A quick ~10-minute single pass — RTK + SLAM LiDAR + camera array — captured entirely on foot from the pedestrian path.
  2. 02Processed onshore in QLD to both a georeferenced point cloud and a photoreal 3DGS model.
  3. 03Vector data and asset extraction, straight from the captured data.
  4. 04Model published and shareable — all within a day, by a single-person team.

The win wasn’t how pretty the model was — it was uninterrupted live traffic. The road never closed.

The same dataset, remotely verified by multiple teams:

The same dataset can be remotely verified by multiple teams — and packaged as a georeferenced evidence pack that supported sign-off.

And the same georeferenced dataset plans and audits the work itself:

+Georeferenced temporary traffic-management (TTM) planning
+Temporary signage placement & compliance checks
+Remote site auditing
