Road Condition Monitoring Data – Network Study report published by TRL
A new report, providing further insight into the collection of RCM data has also been published this week. The report, which has been produced by TRL, describes a network study carried out to provide insight on the collection of RCM data, to support the development of the PAS and the work undertaken by the Department for Transport.
The report, entitled ‘Road Condition Monitoring Data – Network Study’, authored by Alex Wright and Stuart Brittain, compares data provided by RCM technologies on a study network with benchmark data provided by engineers’ surveys.
The work has assisted in the development of definitions for the new set of condition categories that will be deployed for national reporting (in the PAS). It has also established an understanding of the data provided by current systems and the comparability of the condition categories reported. In addition, the report has also provided insight into the implications for achieving consistency in a future PAS compliant data collection regime.
