Individual and Corporate Offerings

The PAVE-SCAN project aims to develop an EGNSS-based hardware/software solution and services for the low-cost automated assessment of roadway transport networks using low-cost sensors (vibration, gyroscope, OBD, LiDAR), participatory sensing, computer vision, and machine learning.

A central element of the PAVE-SCAN offering is providing continuous information on roadway pavement anomalies, which is valuable for the efficient monitoring of transport infrastructure and for public safety. Further key project aspects/offerings are as listed below:

Near-real-time analysis and classification of roadway anomalies,
Geospatial mapping of transport infrastructure, roadway anomalies and condition-assessment heatmaps,
Key performance indicators (KPIs) for the studied roadway networks,
Improved roadway management practices, prioritization of public works and lower costs,
Reduction in the transport-related environmental footprint through improved O&M of transport infrastructure and of mass transit,
Reduction in roadway-assessment costs by utilization of a fleet of vehicles/buses as participatory sensors,
Integration with existing national transport initiatives, such as the ‘National Single Access Point’, and with ‘Digital Twin’ platforms, for (a) dynamically updated regional roadway-condition models, and (b) improvements in transport safety through calibrated traffic models, line-of-sight analysis, and roadway improvements,
Open-access data and APIs.

PAVE-SCAN’s EGNSS-compatible sensor system is available as a Product-as-a-Service (PaaS) and offers the following advantages compared to products available on the market:

Classification of key roadway anomaly types (potholes, cracks, depressions/bumps, rutting) with accuracy/ precision rates higher than 90%
PAVE-SCAN decision-support system, with several measured and ML-driven KPIs
Open-data ecosystem (architecture, APIs, data)
Improved roadway management practices, prioritisation of public works and lower costs
Geospatial mapping of transport infrastructure, roadway anomalies and condition-assessment heatmaps
Reduction in the transport-related environmental footprint through improved O&M of transport infrastructure and of mass transit
Reduction in roadway-assessment costs by utilization of a fleet of vehicles/buses as participatory sensors
20% savings in bus O&M, per year & 20% savings in pavement O&M, per year
