Route Survey Workflow

The RoadScope Survey Workflow

Professional route surveying follows a structured workflow that ensures comprehensive data collection and permit-ready documentation.

Phase 1: Pre-Survey Planning

Route Identification — Work with your client or operations team to identify the intended route. Obtain any existing route files or directions.

Regulatory Research — Identify jurisdiction requirements, known restrictions, and permit office expectations for the route corridor.

Equipment Preparation — Ensure your survey equipment is calibrated and charged. Test data connections before heading to the field.

Phase 2: Field Survey

Systematic Coverage — Drive the route in the direction of intended travel. Stop at every potential constraint point.

Multi-Point Measurements — Take measurements at multiple points across the lane for accurate clearance documentation.

Photo Documentation — Capture wide-angle context and close-up detail photos at every POI.

Phase 3: Data Processing

Import & Validation — Upload field data to RoadScope. Review automated validation flags for potential issues.

Constraint Modeling — Verify that all constraints are properly categorized and linked to the route.

Phase 4: Report Generation

Internal Review — Generate a Quick Report for internal review before client delivery.

Permit Package — Create Full Reports with all supporting documentation for permit applications.
