Image Logger, the first product in the company’s cloud-based RoadWay Operating System online platform

RoadBotics is announcing the addition of Image Logger to its growing suite of products to help communities digitise assets such as roads, sidewalks and trails.

The company, based in Pittsburgh in the US state of Pennsylvania, said the technology places time-stamped geo-spatial image data on a GIS-enabled map. The result allows local authorities to view all public assets on one platform - from a desk or out in the field.

“The Image Logger is a great addition to our existing products and tools for road and infrastructure management,” said Matt Lucas, head of product at Roadbotics. “It helps our clients to better administer their assets while saving valuable resources.”

RoadBotics - known for automated pavement assessments using a smartphone for data collection –users can collect data on roads and adjacent assets such as signage and public right of ways including sidewalks, bike trails and walking paths. Whether collected monthly, seasonally or before and after maintenance projects, up-to-date data is invaluable for asset management.

The Image Logger  was released in early June as the first product for the company’s new RoadWay Operating System, a cloud-based online platform. RoadWay OS helps governments manage and administer their public infrastructure asset data in one central location. “Image Logger accomplishes that objective by the ease of use and breadth of data available,” said Benjamin Schmidt, president and co-founder of RoadBotics.

Roadway OS is also available to outside consultants and professionals who help governments maintain infrastructure, whether this is managing tactical day-to-day operations or enhancing strategic planning.

  • The Path to Climate-Neutral Road Construction
    October 1, 2023
    Machine manufacturers and construction companies around the globe are currently searching for ways to achieve the goal of climate-neutral construction. The challenge here is to successively reduce emissions of CO2 and other harmful gases (summarized to CO2 equivalents: CO2e) around the world to zero over the coming decades. In the road construction sector, this transformation is inextricably linked to the improvement and further development of production and working processes. In the future, machines and construction materials will also be assessed based on the climate-harmful emissions arising from their production and use. However, the focus should not be on individual machines, but on the entire process leading up to the finished product – a road. Ultimately, the decisive factor is the emissions generated per kilometer of newly built or rehabilitated road – the “CO2e per work done”.

    The concrete road paving market continues to develop - Mike Woof reports Concrete road paving technology continues to evolve, with new equipment and techniques coming to market. Although concrete road construction has been used for many years, problems with early generation technologies affected this market segment. The first concrete roads were constructed in sections, which led to problems at joints but these were addressed many years ago with the advent of slipform paving. Concrete roads constructed in t

    3D machine controls can optimise milling efficiency, Mike Woof reports. More efficient milling and recycling operations can be carried out by using the latest 3D control systems on the market. At the last Trimble Dimensions event in Las Vegas, the advantages of 3D controls for milling operations proved a key topic. The use of 3D control systems can offer huge advantages in milling operations. This technology helps increase productivity as the milling machine will only remove what is required, which also hel
