Huntington, IN Infrastructure Assessment

Summary

• 618 roadway miles scanned with LiDAR and 6,062 signs inventoried enable targeted, safer repairs citywide
• Actionable condition scores and prioritized repair lists power defensible plans and smarter budgets

Problem

Huntington’s streets team faced mounting pressure as pavement conditions varied across neighborhoods and residents demanded quicker fixes. Without current, consistent data on road conditions, they didn’t know which roads to fix or when and had no clear prioritization method to build defensible paving plans. Staff were stuck reacting to complaints and conducting manual surveys that were slow, inconsistent, and hard to defend in budget discussions.

Solution

Huntington chose Cyvl to rapidly survey the entire roadway network using vehicle-mounted LiDAR and sensors, capturing 618 miles of streets and a complete inventory of 6,062 traffic signs. Cyvl’s Infrastructure Intelligence platform applied AI to transform raw data into segment-level condition scores, prioritized repair lists, and clear, map-based reports that the city could use to make decisions and act faster. Delivered on November 28, 2023, the city received detailed, actionable pavement condition data for all 618 miles in weeks rather than months, giving leaders the defensible plans and budget scenarios they needed.
