Better pavement data for a third of the cost.
Berea, Ohio was quoted $75,000 for a manual pavement survey of its 78 centerline miles. PMG delivered a more accurate, AI-driven assessment with HD video and the RoadINsights dashboard for under $20,000 — a 68% reduction.

CHALLENGE
A $75,000 quote just to find out what condition the roads were in.
Berea needed current, defensible condition data across its 78 centerline miles. The manual survey it was quoted would have consumed a large share of the pavement budget before a single road got paved, and would have handed the city a static report rather than something staff could keep working from.
→ Assessment costs eating into money that should have gone toward pavement work
→ Manual, walked surveys that are slow to deliver and inconsistent between raters
→ No living record of the network, just a document that started aging the day it's delivered
WHAT PMG DID
Replaced the manual survey with AI-driven video assessment.
AI-driven condition assessment
Every centerline mile driven and captured in HD video, with distresses identified and scored to ASTM D6433 — consistent across the whole network, with no rater-to-rater drift.
RoadINsights dashboard
Segment-level PCI scores, condition ratings, and roadway video in an interactive map — so staff can pull up any street without leaving the office, instead of digging through a PDF.
Budget redirected to pavement
Delivered for under $20,000 against a $75,000 manual quote, freeing more than $55,000 to go back into actual road work.
THE RESULTS
More data, better data, for a fraction of the cost.
68% Cost Reduction
Under $20,000 delivered against a $75,000 manual survey quote.
More accurate scoring
Consistent ASTM-compliant results across every segment, not sampled spot checks.
Clarity on every single road
A visual record of all 78 centerline miles that staff can revisit any time.
A living dataset
RoadINsights replaces the one-off report with a platform the city keeps using year to year.
"Enhancements in recent technology have made pavement
management much more efficient and affordable, the pavement condition can be determined at a desk instead of on the road."
