NHAI to deploy Network Survey Vehicle for enhancing road condition

NHAI has planned to deploy Network Survey Vehicle (NSV) to enhance quality of the National Highways and provide better roads to commuters. Carrying out a road condition survey using NSV on the National Highways has been made mandatory at the time of certifying completion of the project and every six months thereafter. The provision has also been included as a part of the standard bidding document of consultancy services. This will help to improve the overall quality of the highways as NSV uses the latest survey techniques such as a high-resolution digital camera for 3600 imagery, Record images/videos at regular intervals, Laser Road Profilometer and other related technology for the measurement of distresses in the road surface. NSV will also help to gather data to analyse the Road condition including measurement of the road surface, surface cracking, potholes and patches.
