... 5   This chapter presents the findings of the literature review relevant to transitioning from manual to automated pavement condition surveys, agency DQMPs, and national reporting requirements for pavement condition. Assessment of Pavement Condition There are essentially two broad categories for assessing pavement condition: manual and automated surveys.

... 14 Automated Data Collection and Quality Management for Pavement Condition Reporting Reporting Requirements In accordance with 23 CFR § 490.319, each SHA is required to report to FHWA, no later than April 15 of each year, the information necessary to calculate the Interstate system condition measures and, no later than June 15 of each year, the information on the non-Interstate NHS condition measures. In addition, MPOs are to report targets to their respective SHAs and to report baseline pavement condition and progress toward achieving the targets.

... 34 Automated Data Collection and Quality Management for Pavement Condition Reporting Summary of Chapter 2 Over the past several decades, SHAs have been transitioning from manual to semiautomated to fully automated pavement condition surveys. This transition was originally initiated through collection of transverse and longitudinal profiles for determining IRI, rut depth, and faulting.
