Identification of optimal landforms to reduce impacts on the landscape using LiDAR for hosting a new highway

- New territorial indicators were designed to quantify landscape impacts.
- Reduction of visual impacts caused by new roads from planning and design stages.
- LIDAR and 3D realistic views were considered to locate observer's views.
- Bands of less cumulative impact were obtained as guides for highway tracing.
- Preventive and corrective measures for impact mitigation were located.
