Automated collection of pavement data allows agencies to collect data on pavement health, including cracking, rutting, faulting, and roughness, at highway speeds. This provides important information for better pavement decision-making. The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's NCHRP Synthesis 589: Automated Data Collection and Quality Management for Pavement Condition Reporting documents the experiences, challenges, and state-of-the-practice solutions used by state departments of transportation that are in the midst of transition or that have transitioned to automated and semiautomated processes for collecting pavement data. It also summarizes the data for state and federal reporting requirements, such as Transportation Asset Management Plans and MAP-21.
