Hands-free & safe
Capture is fully automatic. Drivers keep their eyes on the road while Road Data records pavement condition in the background.
Road Data turns an ordinary smartphone into a road survey tool — and a fleet of long-haul truckers into a nationwide data network. Drivers collect road damage data automatically and safely as they drive, with every mile synced to the cloud. Then they sell the datasets they generate through a built-in, Stripe-powered marketplace.
For decades, road condition assessment meant expensive contractor surveys, specialized survey vans, and reports that arrived weeks after the drive. Road Data replaces that model with continuous, in-house data collection that any agency or contractor can run from a standard smartphone.
Road Data is a road condition survey application built by Waypoint Web & Software USA for public works departments, municipal engineers, counties, townships, and private pavement contractors who need accurate, current information about the roads they manage. Instead of commissioning a separate assessment every few years, your team captures geo-located road imagery and pavement condition data on routes your vehicles already drive — garbage trucks, snow plows, inspection trucks, or a single engineer in a pickup. The result is a living, continuously updated picture of network condition rather than a snapshot that is out of date the moment it is delivered.
The platform is intentionally simple to deploy. Mount a phone on the windshield, open the app, and drive. Road Data records GPS location and extracts a high-resolution image at a regular interval — roughly every ten feet — so every section of pavement is documented with a precise coordinate and timestamp. Because there is no proprietary hardware to buy, no laser scanner to calibrate, and no vehicle modification required, an agency can move from sign-up to first survey in a single afternoon. When the drive is finished, imagery and condition data are ready to review the same day, not weeks later. Learn how a complete survey works in the Road Data field guide.
Captured data flows into a map-based dashboard where every road segment is plotted by its real geographic position. Engineers can scrub through the road imagery remotely, review condition ratings segment by segment, and build the documented evidence base that funding requests, maintenance planning, and liability defense all depend on. Because the entire video and image record is geo- and time-referenced, you can demonstrate the exact state of any road on any survey date — a record that is invaluable for capital planning and for responding to claims.
Road Data runs quietly in the background for long-haul drivers crossing the country every day. As they drive up to 11 hours a shift, the app safely and automatically captures road damage data — no tapping, no distraction — and syncs every mile to a secure cloud database in real time.

Over a full driving shift, a single truck surveys hundreds of highway miles — coverage no dedicated survey fleet can match.
Every mile of road damage data uploads to a secure cloud database automatically — ready to view, manage, and sell the moment it lands.
Run complete pavement surveys on a standard smartphone. No survey van, no laser scanner, no calibration — just mount, drive, and collect.
Every captured image carries a precise GPS coordinate and timestamp, so each frame maps to an exact point on your network.
Translate raw imagery into segment-level condition ratings, so you can rank streets and prioritize maintenance dollars objectively.
Navigate your whole network visually. Click any segment to view its imagery, history, and rating from the office.
Skip the weeks-long turnaround of traditional contractor surveys. Review imagery and condition data the day you drive.
A time-stamped visual archive of every segment supports budget cases, audits, and liability response with hard evidence.
Place a standard smartphone on the windshield of any vehicle in your fleet. No installation, no wiring.
Run your normal routes. Road Data captures geo-located imagery automatically as you go.
Open the dashboard to inspect every segment, view imagery, and confirm condition ratings remotely.
Prioritize maintenance, justify budgets, and track change over time with current, defensible data.
Every dataset a driver collects shows up in their Road Data account dashboard, ready to list and sell. Buyers browse listings, purchase outright, or make offers — and the Road Data app facilitates every transaction end to end, with payments powered by Stripe.
Your dashboard turns the road damage data you collect into income.
Source current, real-world road condition data on demand.
Road Data fits the workflows of agencies and contractors of every size — from a single township road supervisor to a county-wide public works department.
Road Data is designed and maintained by Waypoint Web & Software LLC, an independent software company based in Kansas City, USA. We build practical web and mobile tools for the infrastructure and field-operations sector, and Road Data is our flagship product. Our goal is straightforward: give the agencies and contractors who manage public roads the same quality of condition data that was once reserved for large departments with big survey budgets — at a fraction of the cost and complexity.
Because Road Data runs on hardware your team already owns, the barrier to better road data disappears. There is no multi-week procurement of specialized equipment and no dependence on an outside survey vendor's schedule. You decide when to survey, how often, and which routes matter most this season. Over time, repeated drives build a history for every segment, letting you see how a road is deteriorating and intervene earlier — when repairs are cheaper and disruption is smaller. That continuous record is the difference between reacting to failures and managing a network proactively.
Road Data is also a marketplace. The same drivers who collect road damage data on the highway can list and sell their datasets directly from their Road Data dashboard, while agencies, contractors, and researchers purchase or make offers on the listings they need. Every sale is facilitated inside the app and settled securely through Stripe — turning a nationwide fleet of working trucks into a continuously refreshed source of road condition data.
