FLAGSHIP INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT
Novi Sad–Ruma Corridor
Integrated Geodetic Engineering for Road, Tunnel & Bridge Construction
One geodetic framework carried from airborne reality capture into tunnel, bridge and construction control.
LocationNovi Sad – Petrovaradin – Fruška Gora / Iriški Venac – Irig – Ruma corridor; Danube crossing and associated road sections
Direct clientChina Road and Bridge Corporation Serbia Branch, Belgrade
Documented period2021–2026
MapSoft roleDirect contractor for the geodetic BPD/DFC package under signed Contract No. 1142-2/5; geodetic designer, geospatial data-production provider and documented field/office realization provider for selected construction networks.
Project context
A long multi-section road corridor that had to remain one coherent geodetic system
The Novi Sad–Ruma programme crosses the Danube, Fruška Gora and Iriški Venac and combines long linear alignment with tunnels, bridges, interchanges, retaining structures, earthworks and land-acquisition requirements. MapSoft's geodetic work therefore had to connect corridor-scale spatial production with object-level construction geometry.
Contract No. 1142-2/5 confirms MapSoft as the direct contractor for the geodetic BPD/DFC package, with geodetic design, data production and documented network-realization responsibilities.
The wider road, bridge and tunnel programme includes multidisciplinary design and construction activities outside MapSoft's role. This page attributes only the documented geodetic acquisition, production, design and realization scope to MapSoft.
One spatial frame
From reality capture to engineering control — without breaking the reference frame
The value of the project is continuity. Corridor control, airborne LiDAR and imagery, terrain/topographic production, object-specific networks, setting-out, monitoring design and documented construction-phase network realization were handled as connected parts of one engineering workflow.
Revitalize corridor control and establish airborne control
Acquire and process airborne LiDAR / imagery
Produce engineering DTM, orthophoto and topography
Design object-specific networks and setting-out
Realize and remeasure tunnel / bridge networks during construction
Design lifecycle monitoring regimes
Prepare cadastral/expropriation support where required
Spatial foundation
Airborne reality capture became the common spatial baseline
Simultaneous airborne LiDAR and aerial imagery were processed together with control and trajectory data. Ground classification, strip adjustment, georeferencing and terrain modelling converted raw measurements into a reliable engineering base for downstream design.
Engineering surveying
The spatial baseline continued into active construction environments
Operational control had to survive design iterations and construction activity. MapSoft revitalized the corridor traverse and used GNSS, total-station and levelling methods to maintain and extend the reference frame around road works, structures and tunnel portals.
Tunnel & bridge engineering
Iriški Venac and bridge structures demanded object-specific geodetic logic
Tunnel and bridge work could not rely on corridor mapping alone. Dedicated networks, setting-out designs, repeated measurement series and construction-phase realization were required to control geometry where visibility, stability and structural complexity create much stricter conditions.
Engineering products
Measured reality was transformed into design-ready terrain and topography
Classified point clouds were interpreted into terrain models, georeferenced data blocks and detailed CAD topography. The documented Section 2 package includes a 1:1,000 engineering base and 22 higher-detail micro-locations at 1:250 / 1:500.
Monitoring & deformation control
Monitoring was designed around repeatable geometry, not isolated measurements
Bridge, retaining-structure and tunnel monitoring designs define observation geometry, accuracy logic and repeatable epochs. The tunnel package also includes installed inner-lining monitoring targets, tying design intent to field implementation.
Monitoring quantities are identified as design values unless final achieved quantities are available.
Measured outputs
A deliverable stack spanning data production, engineering design and field realization
The project combines classic geospatial products with geodetic engineering deliverables used directly by design and construction teams.
Revitalized operational traverse
Corridor-wide geodetic control with stability checks, remeasurement and updated adjustment.

Design documentationDocumented quality
Quality evidence is embedded in the production and network workflow
Final realization sources document aerotriangulation RMSE, orthophoto checks, strip adjustment, manual DTM refinement, topology checks and repeated tunnel-network measurements after micro-movement was identified.
What this project proves
Novi Sad–Ruma proves MapSoft is not only a mapping supplier but a long-term geodetic engineering partner capable of carrying the same spatial foundation into networks, setting-out, monitoring, construction control and land-related geodetic processes for major road, tunnel and bridge infrastructure.
MapSoft can remain the geodetic engineering partner from corridor-scale reality capture through detailed design and into construction control — combining data acquisition, production, networks, setting-out, monitoring and land-related geodetic processes in one coordinated infrastructure workflow.
