Can your pavement condition data identify roads before they become expensive to repair?
A pavement condition score is only as reliable as the measurements used to calculate it. While cameras can identify visible defects, important early signs of pavement deterioration may require more detailed assessment.
This position paper examines the technologies and measurements needed to identify roads within the Rescue window, when timely intervention can prevent more extensive pavement failure.
It introduces a proposed Australasian Pavement Condition Index (A-PCI), considers the limitations of different survey technologies and explores how laser measurement, structural assessment and complementary data can improve condition reporting and maintenance decisions.
