5 meters onward.

o Time-based triggering option for additional flexibility.

• Illumination & Low-Light Capability:

o Equipped with HDR (High Dynamic Range) and low-light enhancement for
night and shadowed conditions.

b. GPS & Positioning System (DGPS/IMU Integration)

1. Positioning Accuracy

• DGPS Accuracy: <1 meter in all three dimensions (Latitude, Longitude, Altitude).

• Configured to receive real-time corrections from:

o GAGAN (GPS Aided GEO Augmented Navigation)

o GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System)

o GLONASS (Global Navigation Satellite System, Russia)

o Other equivalent satellite-based augmentation systems (SBAS) for enhanced


precision.

2. Update Rate & Output Protocol

• Update Rate: Minimum 5 Hz for real-time positioning.

• Output Protocol: NMEA format for GPS data interoperability with mapping and
survey software.

3. Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) Integration


• Provides additional motion compensation and heading accuracy.

• Helps maintain precise positioning in GPS-denied environments (e.g., tunnels,


underpasses, dense urban areas).

• Ensures smooth data continuity when GPS signals are weak or unavailable.

4. Distance Measuring Instrument (DMI)

• High-precision DMI for accurate distance and chainage computation.

• Corrects GPS drift errors in cases of signal disruptions.

• Works in sync with DGPS and IMU to improve overall positioning accuracy.

5. GPS Coordinate Collection & Geo-Tagging

• All detected defects and objects must be geo-tagged with:

o Latitude

o Longitude

o Chainage values

6. Differential GPS (DGPS) System Requirement

• The NSV must use a DGPS-based positioning system to improve real-time positional
accuracy.

• Integrated DGPS + IMU + DMI setup ensures seamless and accurate road asset
mapping.

c. Chainage Length Measurement & Calibration

Chainage Determination Methodology

• Chainage length shall be computed using a calibrated DMI-based odometry system,


ensuring high precision in distance measurement.

• The system will be supported by GPS and IMU corrections to enhance positional
accuracy and compensate for variations in road conditions.

• The NSV chainage length will be referenced to the Department’s predefined baseline
length, which will be used for all further executions.

• Any deviations from the baseline length must be minimized through precise
calibration and verification.

Accuracy Requirements

• Distance Accuracy: ±0.1% or better over the measured length.


• Chainage Discrepancy: Maximum allowable deviation of ±0.5 meters per kilometer
after calibration.

• Strict adherence to the Department’s Baseline Length to ensure uniformity in all


project measurements.

Calibration Process

• Calibration must be performed against the Department’s established control distance


(baseline length).

• The system must undergo regular re-calibration to maintain accuracy across varied
terrains and road conditions.

d. Data Points for Measurement

• At least 4000 data points should be collected for a 4-meter transverse width
measurement.

e. Speed

• The system shall be capable of operating within a speed range of 0 to 100 km/h, with
optimal performance at speeds up to 40 km/h for accurate data collection.

• The distance measurement accuracy shall be better than ±0.1% over a minimum
distance of 10 kilometers, ensuring reliable and precise mapping of road features
and defects.

f. Calibration Certificate for NSV Survey & Validity

• GPS & Positioning System:

o DGPS: Accuracy of <1 meter.

o IMU: Ensures motion compensation and heading accuracy.

o DMI: Accurate distance and chainage measurement.

• Road Geometry Tools:

o Calibration for gradient, slope, and curvature.

• Deflection Measurement:
o Calibration for deflection measurement tools.

• Camera & Imaging Systems:

o Calibration for geo-tagging and image capture.

• Data Collection System:

o Calibration for accurate chainage and GPS coordinates logging.

• Chainage Length:

o Calibration of DMI for distance measurement.

g. Software Requirements

• The vendor shall provide software capable of generating comprehensive reports


based on the road survey data collected by the NSV. The software should be able to:

o Report Generation: Generate detailed reports and inventory data, including


road defects and asset information. The output should support multiple
formats as specified, including CSV, Excel, Shape File, Video files, and other
required formats.

o Automatic Merging of 2D/3D Road Surface Images:

▪ The software should automatically merge parallel overlapping 2D/3D


road surface images captured during the survey.

▪ It should include functionality to remove any double-counted distress


at the merge points (where two images overlap).

▪ This feature is essential for multi-lane highways where each lane is


scanned separately to ensure accurate and non-redundant data for
defects and road conditions.

h. Data Output

• All data should be compatible with iROADS software.

• Shape files: (Attribute Name, Data Template will be provided by Client to ensure
acceptance in iROADS Software)

o Visual Survey File or Road Video Survey File in road asset management
systems. The GPS-coordinated Embedded Video file should be provided as VIS
file compactable with iroads.
