... 92 C H A P T E R 8 For decades existing pavement condition data standards and practices, such as using the ASTM PCI procedure to identify pavement distresses, have aligned well with what is referred to as manual data collection. However, the technologies currently being applied to pavement condition data collection and analysis are expanding at a rapid pace.
From page 93...
... Next Generation Pavement Condition Data 93 Variations of this technology have already been deployed at airports such as Hartfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, Front Range Airport, and a GA airport in Maine for pavement inspection and at other airports for other inspection purposes (Wysocky 2018)

... 94 Guidelines for Collecting, Applying, and Maintaining Pavement Condition Data at Airports Greater Accuracy Advancements in technology do not automatically mean greater accuracy, although perhaps in many cases that is an implied benefit. Table 18 identifies the current technologies used to generate essential measures of pavement condition as "current best practice" and also shows currently deployed alternative technologies.
From page 95...
... Next Generation Pavement Condition Data 95 • More accurate measurement of transverse profile, and • Measurement of longitudinal profile (not currently a part of a typical pavement condition survey)
From page 96...
... 96 Guidelines for Collecting, Applying, and Maintaining Pavement Condition Data at Airports As new technologies are deployed, it can be anticipated that there will be challenges to integrate similar data collected using existing methods. For example, the airport that has collected many cycles of pavement condition data by manual surveys may find that the same type of data collected with an automated technology does not match up well with the previous data.
