BG using StreetScan vehicle to identify road defects like potholes, bumps and cracking

StreetScan vehicle

To help improve the conditions of city streets, Bowling Green is partnering with StreetScan, a company that has assessed streets in more than 280 communities in North America. 

Beginning Wednesday, Sept. 20, residents may notice a marked “StreetScan” vehicle with equipment mounted to its roof, driving throughout the city.

StreetScan employs vehicle-mounted sensing technology to assess road conditions in normal traffic flow. The system uses its technology to determine the health of each street and to identify road defects including potholes, bumps, and cracking. This data helps the municipality to identify and prioritize repair needs.

Questions about this work should be directed to the Public Works Department by calling 419-354-6227.
