i-Probe to Support Virginia Transportaon Study on Emerging

Pavement Monitoring Technologies

A collaborave study with the Virginia Tech Transportaon Instute will evaluate how connected vehicle data

can improve roadway maintenance and enhance safety and resource eciency.

March 20, 2026 – BLACKSBURG, Virginia

i-Probe Inc. is parcipang in a collaborave study with the Virginia Tech Transportaon Instute (VTTI),

part of Virginia Polytechnic Instute and State University, to evaluate how emerging data sources can

enhance pavement condion monitoring and support more ecient pavement maintenance.

The study is being conducted under the transportaon pooled fund program “Emerging Data Streams for

Pavement (Asset) Health Monitoring and Management,” which brings together state departments of

transportaon and private sector research partners to assess innovave technologies that can enhance

pavement asset management pracces.

For the study, i-Probe will deploy its Road Condion Monitoring Big Data Analycs Service (RoCoMo-

BDAS) on selected road segments throughout Virginia. The system uses anonymized, aggregate data

from everyday vehicles (connected vehicles) to generate connuous, network-level scanning of

pavement condions, including road roughness and early signs of deterioraon.

The evaluaon will assess how this data can complement exisng pavement management pracces by

providing connuous data feed, and more frequent and comprehensive condion informaon. By

comparing connected vehicle data with tradional roadway datasets, the study will examine the

technology’s reliability, consistency, and value for supporng maintenance planning and decision-

making.

Access to connuous and scalable pavement data may support improved idencaon and

priorizaon of maintenance needs, including earlier detecon of deterioraon. Such insights could

contribute to more proacve maintenance approaches, helping reduce repairs earlier and minimize

disrupons for road users while supporng ecient use of available resources.

Under the agreement, i-Probe will provide technical setup, analycs, and cloud-based access to its data,

reports, and visualizaons. VTTI will contribute relevant roadway data, conduct independent analysis,

and provide feedback on results. Findings from the study may be shared subject to parcipang agency

agreement.

This study underscores industry acknowledgement that innovave soluons, such as connuous data

collecon technology, may complement and enhance tradional pavement inspecon methods in the

future. By evaluang connected vehicle–based monitoring in an applied research seng, this study

aims to beer understand how such approaches can support more mely, scalable, and resource-

ecient infrastructure management.
