Automated Data Collection and Quality Management for Pavement Condition Reporting
Automated collection of pavement data allows
agencies to collect data on pavement health, including cracking, rutting, faulting,
and roughness, at highway speeds. This provides important information for better
pavement decision-making.
The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's
NCHRP Synthesis 589: Automated Data Collection and Quality Management for Pavement Condition Reporting
documents the experiences, challenges, and
state-of-the-practice solutions used by state departments of transportation that are in the midst of transition or
that have transitioned to automated and semiautomated processes for collecting
pavement data. It also summarizes the data for state and federal reporting
requirements, such as Transportation Asset Management Plans and MAP-21.
