Public Works to Implement Road Condition Survey Using New Technology
What happened
Public Works reviewed an agreement with RMT to implement a pavement management solution. City commissioners considered authorizing $26,431 for the project, which would allow the city to conduct a pavement condition survey of existing roadways. The proposed technology would convert the city’s fleet into a smart fleet capable of passively collecting road quality information, including vibrations and visual details, to create a digital model of the road network.
