Pavement survey van mapping city roads, engineer says
Summary
David Jones, from engineering, described a citywide pavement-condition survey that will collect data to produce an Overall Condition Index (OCI) to prioritize road maintenance and reconstruction.
SLC TV asked a member of the city's engineering staff about a pavement-survey van working on city streets. "We're collecting the pavement condition. We're driving all the roads in the city, all 1,858 lane miles," David Jones said, describing the project's aim to record current roadway condition.
Jones said the data will be used to calculate an Overall Condition Index (OCI) that helps staff decide which roads need maintenance and which require reconstruction. He estimated the car-lane collection will take about a month and said a bicycle-mounted unit will later map bike lanes.
