What Roadway Asset Services does

Roadway Asset Services (RAS) is a US infrastructure asset and pavement management firm providing automated data collection, condition analysis, and consulting services to government transportation agencies and municipalities. The company is headquartered in Austin, Texas, structured as an LLC, and operates from approximately 17 office or contact locations nationwide. Its core offering combines a fleet of four LCMS-2-equipped Roadway Asset Collection (RAC) vehicles and e-bike-based ProWAGON units for pedestrian data with a proprietary software suite — RoadTRIP for ASTM D6433-compliant Pavement Condition Index computation, BOSS for budget optimization and multi-year maintenance planning, ART for right-of-way asset extraction, RAS Videologger for virtual roadway viewing, and the PEDAL PowerBI dashboard for sidewalk analytics.

Underlying technology centers on laser-based 3D pavement imaging, 360-degree HD panoramic imagery, Class 1 inertial profiling certified by the Texas A&M Transportation Institute, and ML-assisted computer vision pipelines for distress classification and roadside feature recognition. Outputs are pre-formatted for the dominant municipal asset management stacks — Esri/ArcGIS, Cartegraph, VUEWorks, PAVER, Microsoft PowerBI, and Trimble AgileAssets — through a formal partner program with OpenGov, Brightly, Lucity, Streetlogix, and Better Capital Planning. RAS has reportedly surveyed more than 100,000 miles of roadway and inventoried more than 1,000,000 traffic signs across 60+ government agency engagements including the City of Durham, City of Salt Lake City, City of Albuquerque, Anderson County, and the City of San Antonio.

The business model blends project-based professional services (pavement condition surveys, asset inventories, budget modeling) with subscription access to BOSS software, all procured predominantly through government cooperative purchasing channels (HGACBuy, TXShare, BuyBoard) under sealed proposal methods. Pricing is quote-based, contracts are typically multi-year, and there is no publicly disclosed pricing. Revenue, funding history, and ownership beyond the LLC designation are not disclosed in the source materials.

Products and services

• Pavement Condition Survey Automated pavement condition data collection service for transportation agencies and municipalities, using LCMS-2 laser crack measurement systems, 360-degree HD cameras, and Class I inertial profilers to capture pavement distress data following ASTM D6433 standards for Pavement Condition Index (PCI) calculation.
• RoadTRIP (Technical Rating Intelligence Program) Proprietary software platform that processes laser-based pavement distress measurements, classifies distress types, quantifies distress densities, and calculates industry-standard condition indices (PCI, OCI, PQI) following ASTM D6433 methodology, with automated crack determination using machine learning followed by manual QA/QC review.
• BOSS (Budget Optimization Street Selector) Cloud-based, Esri-compatible pavement management program capable of running unlimited budget scenarios, developing actionable projects, creating customized deterioration curves, conducting financial optimization through cost of deferral analysis, and producing multi-year maintenance and rehabilitation plans, with exports to PowerBI, Esri storyboard maps, ArcGIS Online, or Excel.
• Traffic Sign Inventory Large-scale traffic sign surveys spanning roadway networks, cataloging traffic signs with MUTCD codes, condition, location, and other attributes using photogrammetry and terrestrial LiDAR technology, including retroreflectivity compliance assessments.
• Asset Extraction Services (ART - Asset Realization Tool) Right-of-way asset inventory and extraction service from HD panoramic imagery using point, line, and polygon vector tools, identifying roadside features including striping, sidewalks, guardrails, curb and gutter, pedestrian curb ramps, streetlights, fire hydrants, medians, and bike lanes.
• RAS Videologger Web-hosted image viewer that allows municipal and state agency clients to virtually navigate roadways from the office, housing Ladybug Panoramic ROW imagery, LCMS downward pavement imagery, pavement condition scores (PCI), and ROW inventories with map widget functionality.
• Sidewalk Assessments Sidewalk condition assessment service using ProWAGON e-bike mobile data collection vehicles equipped with high-resolution 5K imagery and GPS, capturing detailed imagery and distress locations including vertical displacements, horizontal separations, running/cross slope, and obstructions, complemented by the PEDAL PowerBI dashboard.

Direct peers

• Dynatest: Dynatest supplies pavement evaluation equipment, software, and survey services including high-speed road profiling and laser crack measurement — directly overlapping with RAS's LCMS-2 based data collection and PCI/IRI reporting workflow.
• Mandli Communications: Mandli is a leading provider of automated pavement and roadway data collection services using LCMS, 360° imagery, and inertial profilers, serving DOTs and municipalities with nearly identical deliverables (PCI, distress mapping) to RAS. It is arguably the closest head-to-head competitor in network-wide pavement surveys.
• Infrastructure Management Services (IMS): IMS provides pavement management consulting, condition surveys, and software tools to US cities, counties, and DOTs, offering direct competition to RAS in PCI surveys, budget optimization, and multi-year maintenance planning engagements.
• ARRB Systems (Austroads): ARRB Systems delivers automated pavement condition assessment, laser profiling, and asset management software to road agencies, with a product set (e.g., iPAVe, AGILE) that closely parallels RAS's LCMS-2 data collection plus BOSS-style pavement management software.

Broad incumbents

• WSP: WSP operates a large transportation infrastructure practice offering pavement management, asset inventory, and digital twin services to DOTs and cities. It competes on enterprise-scale government contracts and can bundle pavement surveys into broader engineering programs.
• Kimley-Horn: Kimley-Horn is a top US engineering firm with a strong municipal transportation practice including pavement management, sign/sidewalk inventory, and GIS integration services that directly overlap RAS's portfolio with the added advantage of deep local government relationships.
• AECOM: AECOM's transportation business provides asset management, pavement evaluation, and capital planning to public agencies globally, often as a prime consultant on multi-year municipal infrastructure programs that compete with RAS's niche service offering.
• Stantec: Stantec is a major global engineering consultancy with a transportation asset management practice that includes pavement condition assessments, GIS integration, and capital planning for municipalities — competing with RAS on the same RFPs but as a much larger full-service firm.
• Fugro (Roadware): Fugro's Roadware division is a large, established provider of pavement and infrastructure asset surveys globally, offering automated data collection and asset management services to DOTs. It competes with RAS on multi-year, multi-state network survey RFPs but as a much larger, diversified geoscience firm.

Emerging players

• Roadbotics (Michelin): Roadbotics applies AI/computer vision to smartphone- and dash-cam-captured roadway imagery for pavement and asset condition assessment, serving municipalities with a lower-cost alternative to LCMS-grade surveys. It is a competing emerging player in AI-driven pavement analytics.
