High speed data collection and automatic crack mapping at the network level on the Bundaberg region

Bundaberg Regional Council (BRC) and Pavement Management Services (PMS) have worked together in the collection of multiple surface pavement parameters and asset identification of the BRC sealed (over 1,900 km) and unsealed (over 1,100 km) networks. This document shows how integrated collection of data from multiple sources (laser profiling sensors, 3D pavement cameras, right of way cameras for asset identification and a navigation system for georeferencing all the information) and integrated management of the derived results, can benefit in the best use of the available resources for the management of a local road network. In order to visualise all this data, BRC and PMS use a custom tool for synchronised presentation of the information. The data can be visualised at different levels of aggregation depending on the task to accomplish: from road level for the network level decisions, to distress level in order to define the details of maintenance tasks. The information is shown by using not only images, charts and tables, but also specific tools to show the information through a web map interface with the network level condition, or to zoom in at the crack (mostly automatically detected) level on the pavement images. The document shows how the above tools help BRC staff to better manage their road network by assisting in the decision making process. It also shows the advantages of visualising the results in an integrated environment to better understand the interrelations between the different elements (and associated parameters) that coexist in a local road network.
