Description
The LAS Roads Assessment Service diagnoses roadway defects efficiently and effectively using rapidsensorinspection technology collecting pavement related data while traveling in traffic. Data is collectedin tight time synchronization using acoustic technology, millimeter-wave surface radar array, videocameras, and a ground penetrating radar array (GPR).The data is put into a web-based GIS data management, processing and visualization environmentdesigned for pavement condition monitoring. The interface provides visual tools and methods to helpdecision makers formulate optimum strategies to maintain and improve their roadways over a given timeperiod including repair suggestions, prioritization and long term planning.The development of a Facility Condition Index will provide a tool that can be utilized to identify the state ofthe physical condition of buildings and will assist staff in planning for current and long term operating andcapital expenditures which will maximize the life of the asset and ensure the most efficient use ofresources. The core components of the facilities will then be assessed in determining the overall FCI.
