A Road Safety Assessment, sometimes known as a Road Safety Appraisal, is an independent comparative assessment of the road safety implications of different scheme options, or a comparative assessment of risks to different road users within one design option. Road Safety Assessments require, as their base, some understanding and application of risk assessment techniques.
This comparative assessment does provide an opportunity to assess the safety implications of fundamental design principles. The opportunity to make comparative assessments makes Road Safety Assessments an ideal tool for use within the early stages of design – particularly within a Transport Assessment for a development proposal.

About
Professional Multifunctional Network survey vehicle is used for Mapping of Highway, Road, and Structure Condition. It survey through Mobile Bridge Inspection Unit mounted on Network survey vehicle. This type of non-destructive testing including inventory and condition assessment is the primary concern of corridor management.
Leica is best in robust professional Multifunctional Network Survey Vehicle System, Our Network Survey Vehicle is based on the latest survey techniques utilizing Laser, Global Positioning System and Video image processing tools. This type of Survey Vehicle is used for automatic collection of road condition related data for Highways safety. The inventory data includes measurement of pavement surface roughness, road geometrics (gradient, horizontal curvature, and cross slope), Rut Depth using Spread Lasers, Sensor Measure Texture Depth, Mean Profile Depth and GPS Coordinates (X, Y, Z) viz. longitude, latitude & altitude etc.
Key Features of the Network Survey Vehicle System are:
High survey speed up to 100 km/hr
Longitudinal (International Roughness Index) and Transverse profiling (Rut Depth) conforming to ASTM standards
Pavement Texture in terms of Mean Profile Depth
Slope, Cross-fall and Radius of curvature
GPS Coordinates (X, Y, Z) viz. longitude, latitude & altitude using DGPS
Video imaging for Roadside furniture / Road Asset
Advanced data processing and reporting software
Real time in-vehicle data acquisition software for display and collection of data from all parameters simultaneously
Post processing software for data analysis and report preparation
Apart from it can be used in
Roadside inventory and asset management
Network and project level road and asset collection surveys
Contractor quality control
Airport runway maintenance
Road safety assessment
Road geometry and mapping surveys
Benefits:
Detect the root causes of damages and road problems
Determine the exact location and dimensions of the problem areas
Adapt new design practices to solve the problem
Learn to move towards proactive pavement maintenance policies
Get longer pavement life times and better roads
Gain savings with asset management costs
Road scanners’ surveys and analysis uses the latest technologies: GPR, laser scanners, thermal cameras and accelerometers, as well as deflection surveys.
Project and network level surveys
Street asset management projects
Project level road diagnostics and rehabilitation design
Forensic projects to investigate road and street problems and detect the root causes
Quality control and quality assurance projects
Roadscanners is at the forefront of developing NDT survey methods and techniques for roads and streets.
The data is interpreted with our own commercially available software to provide comprehensive solutions, investigations and compatible formats.
