Mobile Sensing Roads Assessment and GIS Based Software Analytics Platform
Description
"The Municipality of Port Hope will gather data on the condition of 382 lane km roads within its juridiction. It
will use the data analysis software to determine its longer term asset management priorities for the asset
class: maintenance plans, capital refurbishment / replacement plans, and ongoing condition assessment needs. It plans on using the LAS Roads Assessment Service to achieve these goals.
The LAS Roads Assessment Service diagnoses roadway defects efficiently and effectively using rapid sensor inspection technology collecting pavement related data while traveling in traffic. Data is collected in tight time synchronization using acoustic technology, millimeter-wave surface radar array, video cameras, and a ground penetrating radar array (GPR).
The data is put into a web-based GIS data management, processing and visualization environment designed for Pavement condition monitoring. The interface provides visual tools and methods to help decision makers formulate optimum strategies to maintain and improve their roadways over a given time period including repair suggestions, prioritization and long term planning."
