<abstract>
<p>The rapid urbanization and rising traffic volumes strain transportation infrastructure, demanding efficient road design auditing and asset management. Conventional manual surveys are labor-intensive and lack holistic three-dimensional context. This research presents an end-to-end methodology combining mobile LiDAR with an AI model to automate extraction of road geometric parameters and inventory features. Mobile LiDAR data from a Bengaluru corridor was preprocessed using Trimble Business Center, applying a statistical outlier removal filter and progressive morphological ground segmentation. A custom PointNet++-based deep learning architecture with hierarchical set abstraction layers was trained on manually labelled point cloud subsets ( 45 million points, 10% labeled) to classify roads, poles, vehicles, trees, and buildings. The model achieved 0.86 mean Intersection-over-Union (mIoU) and 92.4% overall accuracy on semantic segmentation. Key parameters&amp;mdash;lane width (8.099 m), road length (44.383 m), zebra crossing dimensions (7.336 m), and pole height (7.890 m)&amp;mdash;were accurately extracted. The automated workflow reduced manual processing time by 85% (from 40 to 6 hours per km), improving repeatability and scalability across urban corridors. Results confirm that the proposed AI-driven workflow significantly reduces manual effort while providing high-accuracy datasets for infrastructure planning. This study demonstrates the transformative potential of integrating mobile LiDAR and AI, offering a scalable tool for safer, more sustainable transportation systems.</p>
