Visualize and analyze your roads with ratings generated by artificial intelligence
Manual assessments waste valuable man hours and result in subjective ratings, while expensive van scans generate overwhelming amounts of data. Both methods make it difficult to create pavement maintenance and management plans.
Better Roads empowers communities to make objective, data-driven decisions about their road networks by automating their inspections and generating actionable data with our technology.
We’ve recently enhanced our model to provide a more detailed 0-100 pavement condition rating, in addition to our straightforward 1-5 scale, offering deeper insights for better decision making.
Our detailed maps, unbiased ratings, and practical tools save time and taxpayer dollars for hundreds of communities across the country and around the world.
Ratings are compiled and available in a CSV file that can be sorted and filtered to create pavement management strategies.
We serve over 300 governments and 30 engineering firms in the US – plus many more worldwide.
Point-level, 1080p high-definition images are taken of each section of road, complete with GIS location details and timestamp.
Drive down your road network and make data-driven decisions right from your desktop.
Using your smartphone, collect visual data of the roads you’d like to have rated. The imagery you collect will appear on our online road assessment platform, allowing you to easily see what’s been covered and what still needs collected.
Your road imagery is then fed through our artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms. Michelin Better Roads technology is built on years of advanced research and development, and our algorithms have been precisely tuned to deliver objective data.
Your imagery and ratings are mapped on our interactive online platform. Views can be customized to gain the insight needed to create preventative maintenance and construction plans.
Take a ride down any part of your road network whenever and wherever you’d like using the Virtual Driver feature.
View street-adjacent assets, confirm reports, and evaluate conditions from your desk.
View your road condition ratings using our simplified 1-5 rating system, or get into more detail with our 0-100 rating system.
Our 0-100 pavement condition rating is rooted in rigorous statistical analysis, directly comparing our previous 1-5 ratings with industry-standard ASTM D-6433 calculations. Developed and validated by a team of professional engineers and analysts, this enhancement is designed to ensure that you receive the highest quality data to support your road planning efforts.
Download your points and segments as geoJSON files to use in other programs and apps. Your segments can also be downloaded as a sortable and filterable CSV file.
