Proper cross slope of a road surface allows for adequate pavement drainage, thus controlling the tendency for hydroplaning and reducing the water allowed to penetrate and weaken both the road surface and its base materials. Common data collection methods are time consuming and require data collectors to be located on the road, which poses a safety issue. New efficient and economic methods for collecting this data are available using mobile mapping and the technology, results obtained, and the knowledge derived thereof will be examined, as well as a comparison to traditional survey methods.
