Press release 2020/36 of the municipality of Rüdersdorf near Berlin
On behalf of the municipality of Rüdersdorf bei Berlin, the entire condition of the roads and paths in the municipality is recorded in October. For this purpose, measuring vehicles will drive along all the roads in the municipality's area of responsibility. It will take around two weeks to drive the approximately 130 kilometres.
The road surveyors are documenting the roads in the municipality of Rüdersdorf bei Berlin on behalf of the administration using high-resolution cameras and precise measurement technology. There are laser scanners on the vehicle to determine the evenness of the roads. In addition, there are high-resolution measuring cameras aimed at the road surface to detect surface damage. The cameras are aimed at the roads and the captured image data is used exclusively for the fulfilment of official tasks. The condition data collected is then processed and incorporated into the development of a maintenance programme. The aim is to plan road construction and maintenance in an even more targeted manner in future and thus utilise financial resources effectively.
The traffic areas and various objects (e.g. road traffic signs, lighting poles, street trees) are also recorded from the image data and transferred to the municipality's geoinformation system. All recorded data is used exclusively to determine the road inventory and is only available to authorised users of the administration.
The engineering firm LEHMANN+PARTNER GmbH from Erfurt was commissioned to carry out the survey.
