Specially equipped scan cars survey road surfaces with 3D laser point clouds and panoramic imagery across two pilot districts, Praunheim/Hausen and Nordend, feeding a GIS-based Pavement Management System that flags cracks and potholes early so repairs happen before they get expensive. Frankfurt plans a citywide rollout in 2026.
