ASCO-DAITO Selects Siteco’s Pave-Scanner Pavement Mobile Mapping System (PMMS)

Bologna, Italy – ASCO-DAITO has taken delivery of the Pave-Scanner Pavement Mobile mapping system, the first commercially available, true 360 degree, infrastructure and pavement surface inspection/classifications system from Siteco S.R.L, Italy.

 

The configuration of the system which has been delivered includes two Pavemetrics LCMS sensors, two 3-D laser profiling sensors, a high performance rackmount controller unit, the popular Ladybug 5 spherical camera from Point Grey FLIR Imaging Solutions and a pair of high resolution frame grabber boards. The software provides complete functionality for mission planning,  data acquisition, post-processing, quality control and defect extraction.

 

Engineered to be flexible, Pavemetrics’ LCMS technology has been adapted to the inspection needs of a wide variety of infrastructure including: road pavement condition evaluation, railway condition evaluation, detection of foreign object debris (FOD) at airports, and high-speed-train-tunnel vault lining inspection.

 

The SITECO Road Scanner platform is fully integrated with the renowned Pavemetrics LCMS vision system technology, and represents the most cost effective, state-of-the-art, high performance infrastructure and pavement surface inspection system. The system collects Asset and Pavement databases in a single survey campaign, providing big advantages for their contextual management.  The complete 3D lidar and imagery infrastructure survey, with millimeter resolution pavement inspection provides a comprehensive analysis of all asset maintenance conditions. All data are accurately geo-referenced and managed in a single environment with Siteco’s powerful software.

“We are proud to be partners with ASCO-DAITO in developing and deploying this latest technological innovation to the industry.” says Augusto Burchi, SITECO’s General Director. ”The Pavemetrics LCMS sensors, combined with SITECO’s class leading mobile mapping platform and software represent the future of comprehensive mobile roadway management “
