The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is set to deploy Network Survey Vehicles (NSVs) across 23 states to assess over 20,933 km of national highways, in a bid to enhance commuter experience and improve highway maintenance planning.
These specialized vehicles-fitted with 3D laser imaging, 360-degree high-resolution cameras, DGPS and advanced sensor suites will capture real-time data on pavement conditions and road inventory without human intervention. The surveys will identify surface defects such as cracking, potholes and patches, enabling faster corrective action. Advertisement
All collected data will feed into NHAI’s AI-powered "Data Lake" platform for expert analysis and conversion into actionable insights. The insights will then be integrated into the Road Asset Management
