What is it about?
Discussion on the use of diverse elevation models to recreate the road and its roadsides in 3D sight distance estimation of in-service highways. The elevation models were derived from airborne and terrestrial LiDAR data and may comprise landscape features affecting sight distance on highways.

Why is it important?
LiDAR data are a valuable source for highway construction and management. Hence the capabilities of this technology must be researched, in particular its application to sight distance and, therefore, traffic safety.
