Haviland, an inter-municipal association of 33 cities and communities in the Brussels region, sought a more objective way to assess road surface quality, moving beyond subjective visual inspections. The aim was to provide its member municipalities with high-resolution digitized road profiles to evaluate overall safety, comfort, and quality—fully compatible with their existing pavement management systems or GIS platforms.

• These municipalities aim to map, digitize, and visualize road profiles to capture deviations with maximum accuracy. This allows them to analyze individual streets through their own PMS application and directly assess overall road quality and safety.
• The project will run from 2025–2028 to cover the participating municipalities’ road networks
• Repeated measurements every 2–3 years will be conducted to enable monitoring of network condition, degradation trends, and timely interventions to minimize costly future repairs.

Expectations:

• Objective and repeatable road quality measurements.
• Integration with municipal asset management and PMS platforms.
• Continuous monitoring to identify trends in road condition.
• Timely intervention to optimize long-term cost efficiency.
