Road Laser profiler       Road condition survey for the road maintenance management system is a very tedious and risky task that uses the conventional method particularly when it is done in a numerous road network. The conventional way uses visual inspection and surveys are conducted by manual measurements in the middle of highway. To complete the task, more manpower and time may be needed and eventually entails more costs to the government road agency.
     
       The use of Road Profiler will make the job safer, quicker, easier, and more accurate.  However, the equipment costs a fortune to purchase one which could reach to 2/3 of a million dollars.  The machine is equipped with lasers, DGPS, DMI, and camera to determine rutting, International Roughness Index (IRI), texture, and road surface distresses (such as cracks, potholes, deformation).

       The only issue is the proper implementation of the outcome from maintenance analysis as financial restraint is the common problem in any government agency to accomplish the task. Without the proper execution, the cost of getting the equipment is not justifiable.
