3D scanning of Quebec rest stops – Project for the Quebec Ministry of Transport
Panosphere 360 was commissioned by the Quebec Ministry of Transport (MTQ) to achieve the Complete 3D capture of roadside rest areas across the province. This large-scale project aims to transform the way infrastructure managers assess, plan and maintain public facilities.
Thanks to advanced technology Matterport Pro3, we create ultra-precise digital twins, accessible remotely and designed to optimize operational management.
As experts in professional virtual tours and in digital twins, We help public and private organizations modernize their processes. To discover all our services, visit our page:

Project objectives for the MTQ
To document in an immersive and precise way all the roadside rest areas in Quebec.
Reduce travel for teams responsible for maintenance and planning.
To allow a quick and centralized consultation of each installation.
Facilitating collaboration between engineers, managers and external partners.
To have a reliable visual basis for monitoring the condition of infrastructure.

An innovative solution for infrastructure managers
Digital twins created using Matterport technology allow managers to:
Instantly view the real-time status of roadside rest areas 24/7.
Optimize the planning of work, inspections and calls for tenders.
Reduce the number of unnecessary trips to remote sites.
Save considerable time during analysis and validation.
Documenting the evolution of the facilities in a single platform.

Benefits for engineers and technical teams
Precise measurements directly in the 3D model: distances, heights, clearance zones.
Complete visualization of indoor and outdoor environments.
A detailed understanding of the constraints before sending a team into the field.
Reducing the risk of planning errors.
Improved interdisciplinary coordination.
Technology used: Matterport Pro3 and LiDAR data
Thanks to the camera Matterport Pro3, We accurately capture the following elements:
Buildings and interior facilities
Rest areas and pedestrian zones
Parking areas
Technical areas and outdoor equipment
Furniture, signage and additional infrastructure
LiDAR data enables a exact modeling, essential for the fields of civil engineering, architecture and asset management.
Deliverables submitted to the MTQ
A complete digital twin for each roadside rest stop.
Measurement data usable for inspections and technical analyses.
Secure access via an online platform accessible from any device.
High-resolution visual documentation for reporting and asset management.
Impact of the project on the management of roadside rest areas
The 3D digitization of rest areas represents a major step forward for the MTQ, enabling:
A significant modernization of infrastructure management processes.
A significant reduction in travel for technical teams.
An improvement in the speed of execution and the accuracy of decisions.
The creation of a sustainable and scalable visual database.
This project is part of a comprehensive vision of digitization of public infrastructure in Quebec and prepares the ground for the future integration of analytics and AI technologies.
