In the initial meeting with clients, we highlight our experience as a roadway operator in Japan for over 60 years. NEXCO started the construction of the major highway system in 1956 and has tackled the challenges that Public Works faces every day. One of the most critical areas as a roadway operator is ensuring the budget to maintain the service level and meet public expectations.
As roadway operator, we know ongoing issues and problems at the sites very well. However, it is sometimes not easy to present the facts to decision-makers.
Therefore, we developed our Smart Pavement Management (SPM) to provide the following critical points.
Easy to Understand - Intuitive Output through the Colored Map
Whole Picture - Quality Data Collecting as a Snapshot
Supporting Facts - Assessment Results on Every 33-foot with Pictures
SPM provides a balanced output between simplicity and detailed data. Engineering insights will be limited if the output is too simple, and vice versa. Again, we know the balance should depend on our experiences.
In conclusion, we are on the same page and here to help you make your job easier.
Prepare the Survey Master based on the Shapefile provided by the customer
The smartphone app automatically takes pictures every 33-foot
Another app records the drive path to prevent missing a single segment
