How a PMG
Assessment Works
From contract to live dashboard, here's exactly what happens
with a PMG assessment — four steps, one vehicle,
and no disruption to your team.

Step 1
Project Kickoff
Once your contract is in place, we schedule a kickoff call within the first week. We pull your road inventory from your GIS data, walk through your network with you, confirm the scope, and set the video capture schedule.
→ Kickoff call scheduled within week one
→ Road inventory pulled from your GIS data
→ Scope confirmed and capture schedule set
Step 2
Video Capture
A PMG employee drives every road in your network at the posted speed, with an external HD camera system mounted to the vehicle. Single operator. No equipment left on your roads. No traffic disruption.
All done by PMG.
→ Every road driven at posted speed
→ Single operator, external HD camera
→ Zero traffic disruption, zero staff time
Step 3
Data Analysis & Quality Review
Video is processed by our in-house AI to identify pavement distresses across 20 distress types per ASTM D6433. Then expert pavement analysts review every road segment before any score is published. Nothing goes to you without human review.
→ AI identifies 20 distress types (ASTM D6433)
→ Every segment reviewed by an expert analyst
→ Objective, repeatable, defensible PCI scores
Step 4
Dashboard Delivery & Consulting
RoadINsights goes live and all deliverables are handed over the same day: Excel data, GIS shapefiles, final assessment report, and full dashboard access. You're ready to use it immediately, and throughout your partnership, we're here to consult.
→ All deliverables handed over the same day
→ Live dashboard + training included
→ Ongoing consulting for the life of the partnership
ASTM Standards
How Our Condition Assessments Work
PCI (Pavement Condition Index) is the industry-standard scoring system (0-100) established by ASTM International. Every PMG score follows ASTM D6433 (asphalt) or D5340 (concrete) color-coded for instant understanding.

Excellent
PCI 86–100
Newer pavement in top shape. Monitor only.
Good
PCI 71-85
Preservation window — the cheapest time to act.
Fair
PCI 56-70
​Still in the preservation window — treat before it slips.
Poor
PCI 41-55
Overlay likely needed. Costs climb from here.
Failed
PCI 0-40
Reconstruction — the most expensive outcome.

Our QA Approach
AI Finds It.
A Human Confirms It.
Distress recognition is done by our in-house AI,
but every road segment is reviewed by an expert pavement analyst before any score is published.
In-House AI
Scans HD video and flags distresses across 20 types per ASTM D6433.
Analyst Review
Every segment is checked by an expert before a score is published.
The Quality of Your Data Matters to PMG.
100%
of your segments get human reviewed. Nothing goes to you without it.
