GIS TIPS: Power of the Visual Data Analysis
A Geographic Information System (GIS) is not only a powerful visualization tool but also a data analysis tool to understand the data pattern intuitively. Here are some tips on how to come up with a master repair plan for your roadway system.
-
For Rehabilitation, such as mill and overlay
> Find out large chunks of bad sections for efficient repair -
For Proactive Maintenance, such as crack sealing or chip sealing
> Focus on areas where yellow ("Fair" condition) is dominant
> Spot repair toward sporadic distress in addition to sealing might be effective
These are some of the points that we will focus on when we prepare a survey summary and recommendations. Also, many of our experienced customers have the same approach in their operations. This might sound easy, but in reality, it will be challenging if you rely solely on numbers in a spreadsheet. Therefore, many customers value the power of visual analysis using GIS
In the 5-mile free trial, we provide a topline summary of the survey to showcase this analysis using the real data of your roadway system.
Let us have a 30-minuted meeting to explain our technology and discuss how to enhance your maintenance planning.
Just email our sales manager, Ms. Cate Hansen, to set up the meeting for you!

Free Trial Run Project
Since SPM is a cutting-edge solution powered by the latest AI technology, a free trial run project would be necessary to better understand the benefits and values.
At the moment, more than 40 cities in North Texas and Oklahoma have commenced pilot projects.
Please contact us right now, to enjoy the opportunity.
What's New
SPM-PCI
SPM-PCI is NEXCO’s proprietary index system. Like Pavement Condition Index (PCI) using the ASTM 6433 standard, it is a numerical index between 0 and 100, which indicates the general condition of the surveyed pavement. SPM-PCI has a statistically significant correlation with PCI.
SPM-IRI
SPM-IRI is a simplified readability index leveraged by machine-learning technology. Based on the bump data recorded while data collection, NEXCO's provides a roughness index.
Deterioration Prediction
Using a standard deterioration curve, SPM provides a prediction of future pavement conditions as an add-on feature of SPM-PCI.
Budget Simulation and Repair Planning
Based on SPM-PCI and the predictive feature, our algorithm automatically offers a simulation of different budget scenarios over the years. The algorithm suggests the optimal combination of repair segments based on our mathematical model. Also, the segments located in an area where many others require the same maintenance category gain higher weights in the calculation to make the suggested work plan efficient and realistic. This entire process is designed to mimic the considerations of the engineers who conduct maintenance planning manually.
