PCI (Pavement Condition Index) is a standardized score from 0 to 100 that tells us how healthy a pavement surface is. It is based on visual inspections that identify surface issues like cracking, rutting, potholes, and other surface distresses.

Why is accurate PCI so important?

➡️Helps to prioritize limited budgets

➡️Assists with planning street maintenance programs

➡️Communicates needs with stakeholders and the public

➡️Extends the life of road assets

By the numbers:

✅85–100 – Excellent: No treatment needed

✅70–85 – Good: Preventive maintenance

55–70 – Fair: Minor rehab

40–55 -Poor: Major rehab

<40- Very Poor/Failed: Structural overhaul or reconstruction

By understanding the severity and extent of each distress, ICC-IMS can provide targeted recommendations for maintenance and repair. This suite of advanced analytical tools are rigorous QC/QA checks ensure that the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) vales we generate are not only accurate, but also repeatable.
