RoadWay User Tips with Todd: Road Report Analysis

In Tips with Todd, RoadBotics Product Manager Todd Saulle shows you how to use specific tools within RoadWay, and how they could be useful to your public works department or engineering firm. Let’s look at the Road Report Analysis.

With this tool, you can view the overall rating of your road network or get granular by analyzing the score by road classification.

Access the Road Report Analysis by clicking the ‘View Road Report Analysis’ button below the overall road score and centerline mileage icons on the left-hand side of your assessment.

Understand Your Overall Network Score

The overall network score averages the road ratings for every road. The overall road rating data is presented in a pie chart with the percentage of roads in each rating category 1-5 where 1= no or minor surface distress and 5=major surface damage and/or critical fatigue issues.  

For municipalities with multiple assessments, you can toggle between tabs displaying each assessment’s overall network rating to understand how your network has improved or digressed over time. 

In this example, from 2018 to 2019 the overall network score decreased – by the RoadBotics rating scale, the network has improved by 0.78 points.

2018
2019

One can surmise that the pavement management plan developed by using 2018’s assessment data was successful in improving the road network.

Then Get Granular with the Data

A unique feature of the Analysis is the ability to analyze road ratings by type such as primary, secondary, tertiary, and residential roads. The classifications are determined by Open Street Map, the mapping service that provides the base layer of RoadWay. 

For each classification, RoadWay provides a bar chart showing the percentage of roads in each rating category 1-5. It also displays each road that falls into the particular classification, as well as that road’s mileage and road rating score.

This granularity allows you to identify which roads may be in need of immediate improvement. 

With a road rating score of 4.07, 1st Street requires maintenance in the immediate future.
