City of Topeka to survey road conditions

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - The City of Topeka announced it will begin a project to inventory the condition of all roads maintained by the City on Wednesday, August 10th.

The City has hired Roadway Asset Services (RAS), which is a nationwide firm based out of Austin, Texas to provide asset management and mobile data collection services.

Beginning Wednesday, RAS vehicles will collect imagery on all pavement and above ground transportation-related assets located within the public-right-of-way. The vehicles will be traveling all City-maintained roads, including alleys. The data collection will occur during daylight hours and on dry roads.

The City has previously worked with RAS on a similar project. The data collection process is expected to take between four to six weeks.
