Mandli is introducing its newest pavement rating software, Roadview Automated Distress Rating Software. This software is capable of automatically rating pavement images according to each agency's rating system. Mandli collects pavement images using the INO Laser Road Imaging System, the latest in line scan camera technology.

Line scan technology allows for a seamless collection of pavement imaging. The speed of the line scan camera will assure complete coverage of the lane of travel (just over 13 feet). The images will then be segmented to correspond with the right-of-way image interval. The resolution of the pavement images will be 4096 pixels across the pavement. This resolution will be capable of identifying 1 mm (0.04 inch) cracks in generally good conditions. Below is an example of our high resolution pavement images and a distress overlay. Click on a image to view a full resolution pavement image.

Manual distress evaluation is performed using right-of-way images or downward images loaded into Roadview 6 software. The distress module of Roadview 6 offers predefined fields for each type of cracking. The person performing the manual evaluation steps through each image and determines the class of cracking for each one. That information is populated into a database that can be summarized over user-selected intervals.

The resolution of the Downward Imaging System is sufficient to provide a distress analysis that is consistent with the rating specified in the SHARPS manual or be customized to fit a different rating system.
