    AAdvances in LiDAR are helping transport authorities improve services and identify potential problem areas, as geospatial technology expert Dr Neil Slatcher explains. The effects of climate change on the transport infrastructure have long been a cause of concern within the transportation sector - and not only on the structures themselves but also on the surrounding areas. This year, those concerns have become reality with landslides, structural collapses and surfacing issues impacting services across the wo

    Along with many others on planet Earth, I have been captivated by the amazing images of Pluto’s surface captured by NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft and sent back across some 4.3 billion kilometres (2.7bn miles) of space. The capture and transmission of such detailed images highlights the progress in the whole area of satellite technology and prompts the mind to contemplate the potential that the increasing number of earth-orbiting satellites could hold for the transport sector.
