The increasing data rate of actual laser scanners qualifies these sensors for kinematic applications. In case of surveying static environments the scanner can be integrated into a moving platform system. Therefore two main tasks are outstanding. Position and orientation of the platform have to be registered throughout a freely driven trajectory. The second challenge is to synchronize the scanned spatial data with the time scale of the positioning unit. This paper presents the specification of a mobile mapping system using a phase-based laser scanner with a hybrid INS (Inertial Navigation System)/GPS solution. Among a description of the system structure it includes a software-based method to synchronize the scanned profiles with the trajectory. No extra hardware unit for time registration of scanned profiles is required. After all a spatial comparison of independently observed control points allows the assessment of the system performance.
