Pavement Surface Assessment
Pavement Surface Assessment System
Surface assessment of flexible and rigid pavements using cutting-edge technology. At Strinso, we utilize automated and semi-automated visual inspections to analyze pavement condition with precision.
To achieve this, we operate with Dynatest Multi-Function Vehicles (MFV), the most effective tool for collecting georeferenced data. Our MFV enables:
1️⃣Capture high-resolution 2D images or perform detailed 3D laser scanning.
2️⃣ Record high-resolution photos or videos of the Right-of-Way (ROW).
3️⃣ Measure surface roughness (IRI) and rutting.
4️⃣ Obtain pavement geometric data.
5️⃣ Classify and identify cracks and other pavement distresses.
We guarantee the highest data quality and consistency through the active supervision and involvement of our engineers at every stage of the process—from field data collection to final interpretation and analysis.
Key economic benefits of pavement surface assessment.
Pavement surface assessment is a comprehensive service consisting of a deep and detailed analysis of the pavement surface condition, covering aspects such as:
Routine surface inspections support the development of pavement deterioration models, which allow for better prediction of future pavement condition and the creation of optimal and more cost-effective Maintenance and Rehabilitation (M&R) plans.
Efficient and effective. In a single pass at traffic speed, data on multiple pavement attributes are collected.
Lower costs compared to deploying field inspection crews for manual data collection.
At Strinso, we believe that effective communication and continuous follow-up are essential to building strong relationships with our clients and helping them make informed decisions regarding the management of their road and airport assets.
Key benefits in pavement engineering.
Pavement surface assessment is a comprehensive service consisting of a deep and detailed analysis of the pavement surface condition, covering aspects such as:
Compared to manual visual pavement inspections, MFV-based inspections offer lower safety risks (for both inspectors and the general public) and eliminate data subjectivity.
Pavement condition records are used to monitor pavement performance over time and to track the progression of specific pavement issues.
Thanks to the technology employed, incipient pavement cracking is detected, allowing for maintenance planning before reaching higher severity levels.
Georeferenced data
They facilitate the localization of distresses for project-level pavement management programs, as well as the assessment and tracking of specific maintenance activities, such as crack sealing and patching.
They facilitate integration with other asset management systems for true interdisciplinary infrastructure management, such as planning utility repairs in advance of pavement rehabilitation projects.

PCI Calculation in pavement surface assessment
From Field to Intelligence: Our specialist team ensures every MFV data point undergoes a comprehensive analysis strictly following the ASTM D5340 standard.
PCI Calculation Process:
Distress identification
The different types of distresses present on the pavement surface are identified and classified, such as cracks, potholes, depressions, rutting, among others.
Data import
The data collected by the MFV equipment is imported into specialized software such as DYNATEST EXPLORER and PAVER.
Distress severity
The severity of each distress type is evaluated, considering its size, depth, extent, and potential impact on the functional and/or structural integrity of the pavement.
Pavement Condition Index (PCI) Calculation
Specialized software is used to calculate the PCI for each pavement section, following the ASTM D6433 standard and the specific methodologies defined by the client. The PCI is a numerical indicator that reflects the overall pavement condition, ranging from 100 (pavement in perfect condition) to 0 (completely failed pavement).
