Mobile Mapping Systems Market Dynamics
Increase in Investments in Smart Cities
Smart cities project require accurate ground information which is in the form of maps and 3D models. An accurate geopolitical database is required to create and manage smart cities and to serve as a revenue source for city administrators. According to the data given by Hylan there are around 55% of the world’s population lives in urban areas compared to 30% in 1950. It is expected to rise 68% by 2050. In 2021, investment in smart city technology is estimated around US$ 244.5 billion in North America.
As per Hylan’s estimation, smart cities are expected to generate US$ 20 trillion in economic benefits by 2026. For urban planning, infrastructure development and land use management, smart cities requires accurate and updated geospatial data. Mobile mapping systems deliver high-resolution mapping data to urban planners, enabling them to make correct decisions and optimise city layouts.
Growing Need for Smart Transportation
As the global population is growing rapidly need for smart transportation increases. Major cities globally trying to optimize their transportation networks for efficiency, safety and sustainability, mobile mapping system play a major role in providing the geospatial data required for smart transportation initiatives. Smart transportation systems depend on real-time data that helps to reduce congestion and manage traffic flow.
Mobile mapping systems enable precise and detailed mapping for navigation systems. It enhances routing accuracy, guides drivers to the most efficient routes and reduces travel time and fuel consumption. Mobile mapping systems provide accurate mapping data that help authorities make informed decisions for traffic management.
Technological Advancements
Mobile mapping systems are now equipped with multiple sensors such as LiDAR scanners and inertial measurement units (IMUs), which work together to capture comprehensive geospatial data. Advancements in algorithms and processing power allow mobile mapping systems to process data in real-time which helps to get instant feedback and decision-making during data collection.
On July 21, 2023, Tetra Tech expanded their VMX-2HA Mobile Mapping System LiDAR system. The newly launched 3D technology in Geomatics Division expand their scope of work on the West Coast due to the increasing project demand in the region. The newly launched product is a high-accuracy survey-grade mobile mapping system that provides users with the ability to collect 3.6 million points a second and also it is able to keep spacing between lines under 5 inches at 70mph.
High Initial Cost
The high purchasing cost of mobile mapping systems equipment such as sensors, cameras, LiDAR systems and computing hardware negatively affects the market growth. The high initial investment can deter smaller businesses and organizations with limited budgets from adopting mobile mapping systems.
The advanced technology integrated into mobile mapping systems, such as LiDAR and high-resolution cameras, contributes to their cost. The complex components require specialized expertise for operation and maintenance. The data collected by mobile mapping systems requires significant processing power and storage capacity for accurate and useful analysis. Building and maintaining the required infrastructure can be expensive.
Data Privacy and Security Concerns
Geospatial data collected by mobile mapping systems may include sensitive information about locations, infrastructure and even individuals. Ensuring data privacy and security while storing and processing this information is a critical concern. Mobile mapping systems capture detailed geographic and spatial data, including locations of homes, businesses and infrastructure.
The use of mobile mapping systems for surveillance purposes raises ethical and privacy concerns. People may worry that their movements are being tracked and recorded without their consent. Mobile mapping systems may inadvertently capture personally identifiable information such as license plate numbers or faces of individuals. It raises concerns about the potential misuse of this information for identity theft or unauthorized surveillance.
Mobile Mapping Systems Market Segmentation Analysis
The global mobile mapping systems market is segmented based on type, offering, end-user and region.
Increasing Applications of the 3D Mapping
3D mapping is expected to be the major segment fueling the market growth with a share of about 1/3rd in 2022. 3D mapping is extensively used in urban planning to create accurate digital models of cities and towns. Planners can visualize proposed developments, assess the impact on infrastructure and make informed decisions about zoning and land use. Architects and builders use 3D mapping to create detailed building models and visualize designs before construction begins.
