This webinar, delivered in collaboration with TRL, provided local highway authorities with a clear overview of PAS 2161 and the new requirements for road condition data collection.
The session explained the approvals process, the role of approved survey technologies, and what authorities need to consider this financial year ending March 2027, when classified road condition data must be collected using an approved survey.
This webinar was specifically focused on what local highway authorities need to know and do, rather than providing a general technical overview of the standard. It gave attendees a practical understanding of the approval framework, how approved technologies will be used, and how the outputs will support their statutory reporting obligations to the Department for Transport.
