Roadway Management Technology is committed to assisting government agencies with a way to transition to a preservation-based, proactive roadway maintenance program. But, what is a proactive maintenance program and what are the benefits? Our latest blog post seeks to explain that.
Proactive road management systems are designed to keep roads in a good condition and prevent problems from occurring before they become larger issues. This type of system includes regular maintenance and repairs, as well as the means to measure these problem areas before they become more costly. Reactive road management systems only respond to problems after they have occurred. This type of system may include emergency repairs, but it often does not include regular maintenance or proactive measures to prevent future problems.
Proactive road management systems clearly come with many advantages. Agencies who deploy a proactive approach to road maintenance can increase the life of their roads through preservation efforts and in turn prevent costly repairs, decrease accidents, reduce traffic congestion, and improve travel times.
The biggest roadblock preventing the wide-scale adoption of proactive maintenance has always been the time and resources needed to identify issues before they turn into noticeable problems. By adopting technology, agencies can decrease their time and resources needed to keep an eye on each their roads. RMT’s revolutionary technology equips government agencies with a passive roadway data collection method, allowing them to analyze the health of their roads while working on their everyday tasks.
Today, RMT is partnering with government agencies around the country to increase the life of our roads and help clients become more efficient in maintaining them. The infrastructure of the future will be built on AI, machine learning, and passive data collection technologies that make smart use of our time, efforts, and resources. By embracing intelligent infrastructure, agencies can increase the life of their roads, decrease accidents and costly vehicle maintenance repairs, and reduce traffic congestion.
