RoadTrace Condition
Predictive Road Surface and Asset Intelligence
PAS 2161 Certified (the UK benchmark for digital road condition monitoring)
Validated by the UK Department for Transport (DfT)
Adapted to local and international standards
Built on large-scale connected-vehicle data
Enhanced by AI-powered visual inspections
The future of road maintenance is predictive
With RoadTrace Condition, highway owners get a continuous, data-driven view of network health.
Using connected vehicles and targeted visual inspections, our hybrid approach turns raw movement into reliable surface insights.
This makes it faster, broader, and cheaper than traditional methods.
Reactive maintenance costs ten times more and still comes too late
Visual inspections and scanner vans only capture a snapshot.
They’re expensive, disruptive, and already outdated when they reach your desk.
Every pothole repaired reactively costs up to 10× more than one prevented through early intervention.
Two data sources, one smarter strategy
Our hybrid approach merges big-data coverage with targeted visual precision for a complete view of network condition.
1. Connected-Vehicle Condition Index
RoadTrace analyses sensor data from thousands of connected vehicles across Europe to calculate a Global Road Condition Index (RCI) across your entire network.
>99% coverage of the main road network
50-metre segment precision
Distinguishes each direction of travel
Continuous updates
Accuracy: >89% on motorways, >79% on primary roads
3 or 5-level global index, adapted to your national standards (UK, FR, BE, IT, IRI/UNI, etc.)
No hardware required — uses vehicle sensors already on the road
This provides rapid, automatic, and frequent updates: ideal for prioritising maintenance, budget allocation, and performance monitoring.
2. Visual Inspection Units
For targeted areas that need deeper analysis, RoadTrace deploys high-resolution imaging units to capture detailed surface condition.
Crack ratio (%), International Roughness Index (IRI10, IRI100), Pothole detection and characterization, speed bump detection
Precise localisation (GPS-synchronised imagery)
Adjustable deployment: one or several vehicles, variable collection period
Development underway: automated road marking detection
This provides precise identification of visual defects, validation of the RCI model, and compliance with engineering standards.
Proven accuracy, certified by the UK Department for Transport
RoadTrace Condition is accredited under PAS 2161, the UK’s official digital road-condition standard.
Independent validation shows 89 % accuracy on motorways and 79 % on main roads, with consistent performance across Europe, Asia, and North America.
Detect early
Spot surface deterioration months in advance so you can act before failures occur.
Reduce emergencies
Cut unplanned maintenance and emergency works by up to 40%, saving time and budget.
Justify every pound
Back your spending decisions with transparent, auditable data trusted by funders.
Benchmark performance
Evaluate contractors and maintenance partners using consistent, objective metrics.
Build public trust
Demonstrate measurable results and accountability to residents and agencies alike.
Extend road life
Intervene at the optimal moment to prolong the lifespan of your assets.
Get the full picture and act on it
Start predicting, not patching.
Choose the Connected-Vehicle Condition Index for fast, large-scale coverage,
the Visual Inspection for high-detail validation,
or combine both for the industry’s most complete predictive maintenance solution.
