Pavement condition data is collected annually using an Automatic Road Analyzer (ARAN). Based on the automated data, the condition of the pavement is evaluated in terms of distresses (Distress Manifestation Index, DMI), wheel track rutting (in mm) and roughness (International Roughness Index, IRI). These indices are integrated into one Pavement Condition Index (PCI) for overall pavement condition reporting and analysis.
