We know more about your road conditions than anyone else.

Road Health by NIRA utilizes high frequency measurement of road roughness, road friction, and road irregularities (such as potholes) to improve road maintenance and decrease operational costs. NIRA offers a ground-breaking data-driven technology that enables automated, objective, and continuous monitoring of entire road networks. By transforming real-time road condition data into actionable insights, Road Health provides a cost-effective and sustainable solution that helps road authorities make the right maintenance decisions at the right time.

Replace traditional road scanning with road monitoring from connected vehicles

Traditional road scanning methods, like manual inspections, are no longer sufficient for modern road maintenance. These methods often lack precision, scalability, and consistency, leading to missed issues and inefficiencies.

By leveraging connected vehicles, road condition monitoring becomes automated, providing real-time updates of your road condition.

This allows for proactive maintenance, reducing costs and improving road safety and durability.

Data-driven road scanning transforms infrastructure management, replacing outdated methods with smarter, scalable solutions for maintaining better roads.

By tapping into the built-in sensors of connected vehicles, road monitoring seamlessly integrates with everyday traffic. This approach provides continuous insights without the need for additional equipment or manual effort.

The transition to data-driven maintenance ensures timely repairs, optimized budgets, and safer, longer-lasting roads, all achieved through smarter use of existing resources.

Our data seamlessly integrates with your road maintenance system, enabling tailored insights to enhance your workflows. Alternatively, take advantage of our ready-to-use tool, Road Insights, for a complete solution to monitor and manage road conditions efficiently.

So, what are the benefits of using Road Health by NIRA?

Road scanning is done continuously. Road Health not only means a higher frequency of data, it also enables continuous, real-time updates – key to be able to act on changes in the road network. It also supports road inspectors, when some features are already monitored, they can focus on others.
Measurement by vehicles. As the data is collected by regular passengers vehicles, it’s an actual representation of how different road features is experienced by the cars and its passengers – providing a more accurate view of the road quality.
Costs are decreased. Using road health can cut costs for road mainenance up to 30%. Take your corrective, preventative and predictive maintenance to a new level using daily measurements and following the development of the road network in real time.

Key capabilities of Road Health:

Road Health combines daily operational monitoring with long-term deterioration analysis to support both immediate maintenance actions and strategic road asset planning, enabling decisions based on continuously measured road performance data.

Daily operations

Road Health provides an up-to-date overview of the road network using vehicle sensor data collected during normal traffic. Changes in road roughness, IRI, and surface condition are detected and visualized at network level. This supports daily monitoring of road conditions, identification of sudden changes or accelerated deterioration, and follow-up of performed repairs.

This enables:

Daily updates of road condition, including IRI and surface irregularities.
Identification of sudden changes and accelerated deterioration.
Objective data to support communication with contractors and stakeholders.
Remote monitoring of test sections.
Follow-up of performed repairs.
Trend analysis based on measured road condition data.

Long-term planning

Road Health supports long-term road asset planning by analyzing deterioration rates using historical and continuously collected road condition data. Authorities can prioritize roads with increasing or high deterioration rates, monitor the durability of repairs, estimate remaining pavement life, and predict when maintenance is required based on measured road performance trends.

This includes:

Roads with increasing or high deterioration rates identified across the network.
Maintenance prioritization based on measured condition data.
Repair durability monitoring over time.
Remaining pavement life estimation.
Maintenance timing prediction for roads with normal deterioration rates.
Long-term performance trend tracking.

The components of Road Health are:

Live Network Status
The daily update status of the road network gives you an objective view that can be used in dialogue with the public, contractors, and stakeholders. You can always provide an update status of the entire road network down to a road stretch. It is easy to compare the status of the road network or a road at different dates and, to compare different regions of the road network.

Preventive, predictive, & reactive maintenance
Utilize the power of daily measurements, to closely follow the deterioration rate of your road network. Prevent roads with high or increasing deterioration rates from requiring substantial maintenance. Predict when roads with normal deteriorate rates should be maintained. Quickly react to sudden and severe changes in road surface quality.

Road Alerts
Get alerts of sudden changes in road condition, such as roughness increases or new potholes.

Who benefits from Road Health?

Road Health transforms large-scale road condition data into actionable insights for decision-makers responsible for smarter maintenance, stronger asset performance, and more cost-efficient road networks.

Road authorities – Strengthen asset management with objective, large-scale road condition data.
Road operators and contractors – Increase operational control and accountability with verified performance insights.
Municipalities – Improve road quality while keeping maintenance budgets predictable.
Infrastructure and asset managers – Reduce lifecycle costs through measurable performance tracking and long-term condition insights.

Use cases: When Road Health makes the difference:

✅ Continuous network monitoring
Gain daily, high-resolution insight into road roughness and anomalies across the entire network. Understand how pavement conditions evolve over time without relying on manual inspection routes.

✅ Early detection of potholes and deviations
Identify sudden increases in roughness or emerging potholes through real-time alerts and statistical trend analysis. Act quickly to prevent minor defects from becoming costly damage.

✅ Data-driven maintenance planning
Follow deterioration rates and prioritize roads with high or increasing wear. Use historical and daily data to predict when maintenance is needed and plan interventions at the right time.

✅ Performance follow-up and resource optimization
Evaluate the impact of completed maintenance measures in real time, allocate resources smarter, reduce unnecessary inspections, and lower operational costs while improving road quality.
