National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) will deploy Network Survey Vehicles in 23 states covering 20 thousand 933 km for the collection, processing and analysis of Road inventory and Pavement condition data of National Highway stretches.
The Ministry of Road Transport and Highway informed that the deployment of NSVs will enable NHAI to collect necessary data related to road inventory and pavement condition, including all relevant road defects like surface cracking, potholes and patches.
The surveys will be carried out using a 3D laser-based NSV system capable of capturing and reporting road defects automatically without any human intervention. The Ministry added that the data collected through the survey will be uploaded on NHAI’s AI-based portal Data Lake, where it will be analysed by a dedicated team of experts at NHAI.
