KCI was contracted to conduct an automated pavement condition assessment and develop an inventory and right-of-way asset database for the City of Kyle’s 184 miles of roadways.
Our team used automated Laser Crack Measurement System (LCMS) technology to complete the pavement survey which focused on documenting distress types, severity, and extent, and determined a condition score for the city’s roadways and inventoried associated assets, such as sidewalks, streetlights, PEC electric meters and traffic signs. The corresponding pavement and right-of-way asset database, provided via a geodatabase format, was then incorporated into the City’s existing geographic information system.
KCI provided the City with a pavement condition index (PCI) and an overall condition index (OCI) for all documented streets to allow for future planning. The OCI described the surface ratings as well as the pavement roughness that affects scoring. The asset database included pavement condition, ride score, and other pertinent data. Once the survey was completed, our team then provided the City Council members with an executive summary of the current pavement conditions analytics, budget scenarios, and a multi-year plan. This assisted in justifying the budget requirements for pavement maintenance and rehabilitation.
