This cutting-edge laser technology serves the purpose of collecting data on the condition of the road surface. This development has proven to be instrumental in significantly improving operational efficiencies, as stated by a prominent official from the RTA.
According to Maitha bin Adai, the CEO of the RTA Traffic and Roads Agency, this laser technology has the capability to reduce field inspection time by as much as 400 percent.
Moreover, it significantly enhances the accuracy of automated inspection data, achieving a remarkable 97 percent accuracy rate compared to previous surveying and automated examination methods.
The PMMS project implemented by the RTA is a comprehensive and automated system designed to assess the condition of roads. Maitha bin Adai further explained that this system is specifically customized to track and evaluate various paving layers found in all types of roads.
It records the current state of the pavement, identifies damages that occur during the operational cycle of paving, and captures relevant data such as construction date, operational status, and maintenance procedures.
Regular inspection and maintenance of pavements are crucial to ensure their optimal condition and meet the safety and comfort requirements of road users.
