The City of Leuven, capital of Flanders in Belgium and one of the European Capitals of Innovation can estimate faster and more efficiently where and when streets need repair

Road Digitization within ARCGIS

Objective:
Modernize and accelerate the City of Leuven’s road digitization process by replacing manual inspections with an automated, data-driven approach.

As part of a tender, XenomatiX was selected to handle data acquisition, processing, and reporting within the City of Leuven’s ARCGIS platform.

Methodology

  • Fully integrated road quality data into the city’s ARCGIS-based asset management system.
  • Measured road condition, including pothole depths and side damages, to optimize repair strategies.
  • Conducted pre- and post-repair measurements to evaluate interventions.

Results

  • Detailed road network condition overview, enabling root-cause analysis.
  • Prioritized repairs based on IRI evaluation.
  • Immediate action on cracks in streets with acceptable IRI.
  • Supported planning for pothole repairs and asphalt layer replacements.
  • Provided data for efficient repair methods and long-term budget planning.
  • Served as a pilot for bike lane monitoring.
