What Roadscanners does

Roadscanners Oy is a Finnish private company founded in 1998 that develops tools and services for traffic infrastructure asset management. Its core offering is the Road Doctor® software and hardware ecosystem, anchored by a sensor-fusion survey platform that integrates Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), LiDAR, 3D accelerometry, GPS positioning, and video/thermal imaging. Two flagship hardware systems sit on this platform: the Road Doctor® Survey Van (RDSV) — a comprehensive multi-sensor survey vehicle — and the Road Doctor® Maintenance Controller (RDMC), a lower-cost vehicle-installable system for continuous road condition monitoring. Road Doctor® 4.0 software centralizes multi-data analysis with AI-assisted routines for interface detection; the companion Road Data Center (RDC) provides browser-based GIS visualization. Roadscanners also resells the Percometer (Adek) and distributes GSSI and KONTUR GPR hardware, and it operates the Road Doctor CamLink (RDCL) video recording subsystem and RDLS laser scanner as integrated add-ons.

The company's business model combines hardware system sales (often turn-key systems installed in customer-owned vehicles), modular Road Doctor software licenses (12-month rental, annual, or multi-user network terms), managed services (RDMC and RD Paver sold as-a-service), and project-based consulting (asset management, survey and diagnostics, rehabilitation planning, airport condition surveys, spring thaw services). A free Road Doctor Viewer supports the bottom of the funnel. Go-to-market is consultative, expert-led enterprise and government field sales, with multi-year public-sector engagements (e.g., Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency, ELY Centres, Vegagerdin Iceland, Latvian State Roads, Public Enterprise for State Roads North Macedonia) and four wholly-owned subsidiaries in Norway, the Czech Republic, the USA, and Sweden. Roadscanners also serves as the main project consultant secretariat for the ROADEX Network (since 1998) and co-leads the Finnish PEHKO proactive-pavement-management project (2015-2028). Operationally active as of 2025-2026, the company is founder-owned and privately held with no disclosed outside funding.

Revenue model

1. Consulting and Diagnostics Services: Roadscanners provides professional consulting services for road asset management, including survey and diagnostics, rehabilitation planning, airport condition surveys, and spring thaw services. These are typically project-based engagements with government agencies, municipalities, and contractors.
2. Hardware Systems (Road Doctor® Survey Van, RDMC, sensors): Sale of integrated hardware systems including the Road Doctor Survey Van (RDSV), Road Doctor Maintenance Controller (RDMC), GPR equipment, laser scanners, and related components. Systems are often delivered as turn-key packages installed in customer-owned vehicles. GSSI and KONTUR GPR hardware is sourced and resold.
3. Road Doctor® Software Licenses: Road Doctor® software is offered with flexible licensing: 12-month rental license, annual perpetual license, or multi-user network license. The software is modular — customers select modules based on their needs. Road Doctor Viewer is provided free of charge.
4. RDMC as-a-Service: Road Doctor Maintenance Controller is sold as a service rather than a capital purchase, eliminating large upfront investment costs for customers. Includes hardware, cloud connectivity to Road Data Center, and ongoing support.
5. RD Paver Service: Pavement quality monitoring service during paving operations. Provided as a comprehensive service including measurement equipment, browser-based user interface, centralized data management and reporting. All measurement data stored in the RD Paver service for warranty period use and benchmarking.

Core offering

Roadscanners develops and sells integrated hardware-software systems and consulting services for traffic infrastructure asset management. Its core offerings include the Road Doctor® Survey Van (a sensor-fusion mobile survey vehicle combining GPR, LiDAR, 3D accelerometry, GPS, and video), the Road Doctor® Maintenance Controller (RDMC) sold as a continuous monitoring service, the Road Doctor® software suite for multi-data analysis, the Road Data Center cloud GIS platform, and a portfolio of professional services including asset management, survey and diagnostics, rehabilitation planning, airport condition surveys, RD Paver paving quality monitoring, and spring thaw services. The company resells GSSI, KONTUR, and Adek Percometer hardware globally as part of its integrated solutions.

Product overview

Roadscanners offers a modular product portfolio centered on the Road Doctor® software platform, complemented by hardware survey systems and cloud services for intelligent, proactive traffic infrastructure asset management. The core offering includes two distinct survey approaches: the Road Doctor® Survey Van (RDSV) — a comprehensive sensor-fusion vehicle integrating GPR, LiDAR, 3D accelerometer, video, and GPS — and the more cost-effective Road Doctor® Maintenance Controller (RDMC) — a vehicle-installable system for continuous road condition monitoring. The Road Doctor® software platform serves as the central analysis hub, supporting multi-data analysis (Road Doctor 4.0 with AI-assisted interpretation), with a free Viewer for project viewing. Add-on hardware modules include Road Doctor® CamLink (video/GPS logging), Road Doctor® Laser Scanner RDLS (surface/topography scanning), and Road Doctor® GPR (subsurface radar). The Road Data Center (RDC) cloud platform provides web-based GIS visualization of all collected georeferenced data. Roadscanners also resells the Percometer (dielectric/conductivity measurement instrument from Estonian manufacturer Adek Ltd.) globally. Consulting services include Asset Management, Survey and Diagnostics, Rehabilitation Planning, Airport Condition Survey, RD Paver paving quality monitoring service, and Spring Thaw Services.
