Abstract:

This report briefly describes Idaho's new high tech/low cost guardrail inventory system. The system includes a video logging system using state-of-the-art digital photo imaging data, which not only improves accuracy, but also significantly reduces the resources needed to main the data. By providing good information about guardrails, the "GRail" system allows managers to effectively address locations where damaged or obsolete guardrails may compromise the safety of highway travelers.
