The new maintenance tenders from the Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility of Spain, published in May, now include requirements for monitoring road assets with Computer Vision. These first four tenders correspond to sectors MU-04 (Murcia), A-03 (Alicante), SE-04 (Seville), and T-04 (Tarragona).

The requirements requested, which must be met by maintenance companies throughout the contract, include the inventory and status assessment of:

  • road markings (longitudinal, transversal, arrows, and inscriptions)
  • vertical signage (fixed content and signs for direction)
  • safety systems (safety barriers) and beaconing elements (beacons, road side markers, and directional panels)
  • distresses in pavements and joints

These monitoring processes must be carried out every six months, and the information generated will be transferred to the applications provided by the Ministry for monitoring the various assets.

ASIMOB’s Autonomous Road Inspector allows these monitoring processes to be carried out automatically, simply by equipping the vehicle with two small devices and driving at normal speeds. The service has already been tested on other Ministry roads, so companies that implement it now will benefit from a reliable, easy-to-use, and much safer service than traditional manual inspections.
