The current practice for gathering most pavement condition data is examination of pavement surface images, either manually or with assistance from computing devices. Pavement condition surveys normally include collecting data on surface cracking and other surface defects for both flexible and rigid pavements, rutting for flexible pavements, and joint distress for rigid pavements. Detailed information on how to conduct pavement condition surveys can be found in the Distress Identification Manual for the Long-Term Pavement Performance, published in 1993 and 2003. NCHRP published a synthesis in 2004 on automated pavement distress collection techniques, which details current practices in data collection and automation.
