Power BI for Potholes
- Pavements
Innovation
Each year, Colorado DOT's Pavement Management Services group publishes a list of roadways recommended for treatment, from chip sealing to full reconstruction.
To better understand where patching is most frequently needed, and to identify which repairs can be completed quickly, the agency began exporting its maintenance activity data -- including location (route and mile post), materials and equipment used, staff time, and costs -- into the Power BI platform. The software produces a dashboard that allows users to create and view efforts and costs of various repair scenarios.
Benefit and Implementation
This innovation can help an agency increase the efficiency of its pavement repairs to save time and money.
