From page 84...
... 84 Pavement condition data have been collected, analyzed, and used by highway agencies for decades. Data collection has progressed from labor-intensive manual pavement condition surveys conducted using pen and paper to collection of 3D images for 100% of the surveyed lanes at posted highway speeds.
From page 85...
... Conclusions 85 Direct comparison of agency cost for pavement condition surveys is challenging, for example, due to network size, duration of data collection, extent of distress types collected, semi- versus fully automated analysis, agency- versus vendor-based costs, etc. One agency with a relatively small network that requires the vendor to conduct fully automated surveys reported a cost of $43/mi ($27/km)
From page 86...
... 86 Automated Pavement Condition Surveys • Study the impact of changing pavement condition data collection equipment or service provider. Highway agencies conduct automated pavement condition surveys using agencyowned DCVs, through service provider contracts, or a combination of both.
