Road Health
Road Health utilizes road roughness, road friction, pothole and roadbump data to improve traffic safety and decrease operational costs. It is an automated and objective system for road monitoring. What are the benefits of using Road Health by NIRA?
Road scanning is done continously. There is no longer a need to use measurement wheels or road profilers. Using RSI vehicle data means higher frequency of data and continuous updates. Daily updates is possible as opposed to annual measurements. Realtime updates is key to be able to perform predictive maintenance of roads.
Actual roughness instead of measured roughness. By using regular passenger vehicles for data collection, the data collected represents how the cars and its passengers experience the roughness of the road. This gives a more accurate view of the quality of the road.
Costs are decreased. Using RSI for IRI scanning can cut costs for road scanning by more than 50%. No more expensive measurement equipment, no need for planning the measurements. The measurements are done automatically and the data is provided in our customer APIs.

Winter Road Insights
Road Surface Information data can be used for many things, but these are some of the use cases already available: Real-time alerts allowing salt truck instructions, traffic redirection and traffic sign control. This is perfect for making sure no areas have been missed or if slipperyness warnings have to go out to the public. Traffic management centers does not have to rely on manual reports of changes in road conditions, but can actually get automated warnings directly into their systems.
Statistical analysis allowing seasonal and geographical overview. RSI allows this sort of analysis to help decision makers, DOTs, road contractors and traffic management centers perform better and improve over time. The possibility is there to automate the monitoring of road conditions, both snow and ice, but also road roughness and deterioration.
Evaluation of performed actions for maintenance area comparison and RFQ input. How are different salt mixes performing, how are new salting trucks comparing to old, how quickly can one area get the roads cleared compared to other? RSI allows a truly objective way to measure these KPIs and many others.
