?? As fall covers the roads with vibrant leaves, it is important to recognize that these seasonal changes can pose challenges for pavement condition assessments. At ICC-IMS, we embrace the beauty of the season while ensuring that leaves don’t interfere with delivering reliable road condition data. Why do leaves matter? When left unchecked, they can obscure critical surface details like cracks and textures, skewing the accuracy of data collection. That’s why our team uses advanced technology and tailored methodologies to account for seasonal challenges, ensuring municipalities and DOTs get the high-quality insights they need—no matter the time of year. This fall, we’re helping our partners stay ahead of the season by addressing these unique challenges and providing actionable insights to keep roads safe and well-maintained. ??To learn more about how we address leaves affecting road condition data collection, check out our experiment. bit.ly/ICCIMSFallFoliage

?? ICC-IMS earned another certification! Our ICC66 received the AASHTO R56 Certification this week at the National Center for Asphalt Technology at Auburn University (NCAT), along with our operators, Seyed and Mike! At ??????-??????, we understand the importance of maintaining certifications and investing in our team to better serve our partners and clients. We are pleased to have our people and equipment certified, reinforcing our commitment to excellence in pavement data collection and analysis. #DidYouKnow NCAT provides third-party certification of accuracy and repeatability for our profile data. Certification is crucial because it ensures that data collected—regardless of the vendor—meets the same high standards. This consistency is particularly important for projects, especially those involving DOT requirements. #NCAT #DOT #ICCIMS #AASHTO

Did you know that discarded tires are paving the way for sustainable infrastructure? Using recycled tires in asphalt is an innovative approach that benefits both the environment and our roadways. ?? ? Environmental Impact: Incorporating rubber from used tires into asphalt helps reduce landfill waste and promotes recycling on a large scale. ? Durability Boost: Studies show that rubberized asphalt can improve road performance, offering enhanced flexibility and resistance to cracking, which reduces the need for frequent maintenance. ? Cost Efficiency: While initially more expensive to produce, rubberized asphalt can save on long-term costs by extending the lifespan of roads and decreasing repair needs. This innovation has been evolving for decades, but advancements in materials science are making it even more viable. At ICC-IMS, we are inspired by solutions that balance sustainability with performance.?

November 20th is ???????????????? ?????? ??????! GIS (Geographic Information Systems) technology combines maps, data, and analysis to help visualize, interpret, and understand patterns in many fields. GIS is a critical tool for Pavement Management that is used in many ways: ? Pavement Condition Assessment and Monitoring ? Asset Inventory ? Prioritization of Maintenance ? Analysis of Pavement Deterioration ? Budgeting? ? Data Integration GIS capabilities across agencies are highly variable. At ??????-??????, we are continuously improving our ability to push our GIS data to the cloud and make it accessible through ArcGIS Online via Story Maps and Dashboards, and therefore more accessible to not only internal stakeholders at the agency, but to their constituents themselves should clients prefer an Esri-based visualization tool to Inform?. We believe in working closely with our clients to understand their specific needs and can create customized, web-based dashboards that illustrate the data we collect during our surveys in a multitude of ways. Our team expertly blends creativity with technical expertise to transform intricate technical information into engaging narratives, using visual storytelling techniques to convey insights effectively.
