Receives subsidy for the following activity(s): The road network is critical to economies. Despite the introduction of road inspection vehicles, maintenance and inspection of the Dutch national highway network of 5357 kilometers alone is an enormously time-consuming task. The current road inspection equipment focuses mainly on inspection of the road surface quality and is stored in the inspection vehicle and later read out and manually processed into information for road inspectors from, for example, Rijkswaterstaat. In order to accelerate both the speed of the inspection (100 km/h) and the accessibility of road surface data and to broaden the road surface data to a complete road image (road surface, crash barrier, road signs, verge), Smart Delta wants to develop road inspection 2.0. This allows roads to be inspected faster and more efficiently.

The project is co-funded under the Union’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
