The document provides an overview of automated pavement data collection solutions. It introduces pavement management and the services offered, including project level engineering services and network level automated data collection. It describes the Laser Crack Measurement System (LCMS) technology, how it works to detect pavement distresses at speed, and the various outputs. It discusses the post processing workflow and why pavement management is needed to meet regulatory requirements. Finally, it provides examples of LCMS projects for the West Virginia Department of Transportation, Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission, Dallas Fort Worth Airport, and BWI Airport.

Why Pavement Management Is Need?
Regulations
• Highways & Roads – FAST Act
• National Pavement Performance Measures established in 2018
• State DOT’s required to collect & report certain aspects of
pavement condition
• IRI, Rutting, Cracking Percent, Faulting
• Equipment & Operator Certification
• Potential $$$ penalties if not met
• Airports – AC 150/5380-7B
• Discusses Airport Pavement Management Program (PMP)
• Required for certain projects funded with federal $$$
• Key component of PMP is ability to track & collect pavement
data

Why Pavement Management Is Needed?
Regulations – State Specific
• Case Example: California
• SB 1 – Road Repair & Accountability Act of 2017
• Dedicates $54 billion (state funding) towards transportation
infrastructure improvement and repair.
• Split equally between the state highway system and local
agencies (cities / counties)
