Laser Inspection of Road Conditions for Asset Management

Roads represent huge government investments and require strategic maintenance treatment s to keep and improve road structural strength and functional servicability above expected levels.

Having a cost effective maintenance strategy is the best way to conserve road infrastructure assets. Considering the resource constraints to carry out road maintenance, governments of all levels need to optimize the allocation of funds and resources and obtain the best return for investment in roads.

To do this, it essential to assess the roads’ condition accurately and in a timely manner. Conventional road surveys are costly, time-consuming, and can suffer from subjective bias.

However, using a vehicle-mounted laser scanning and computer imaging system generates data in the form of images and measurements that can be saved and retrieved later. This allows various levels of government to not only reduce the cost of their data acquisition through using automated processes, but also to collect data more efficiently so that they can take decisions based on the most up-to-date state of road infrastructure assets.
