Keep your citizens off the streets with a sidewalk condition assessment: Improve walkability, 
Ensure ADA Compliance, and Reduce trip-and-fall hazards and Obstructions.

SST DATA COLLECTION

Similar to the Road Surface Tester, IMS is prepared to deploy our SST (Sidewalk Surface Tester) for a complete objective analysis of your city’s most trafficked pedestrian walkways.

The sidewalk survey process gathers video, imagery, and GIS information to create a detailed overview of the city’s sidewalk inventory.
​
​The data is poured over by our expert analysis team to determine the extent of sidewalk deterioration and any ADA violations in a given area.

COMPILE IMAGERY

Following the SST survey, a compilation of video footage is linked with a GIS database. Images are categorized into specific groups that are organized by GIS and pavement condition. Specific examples of obstructions, ADA compliance violations and pavement distresses may be emphasized according to client needs.

SIDEWALK MANAGEMENT REPORT

​Following the analysis, the images, analysis results and GIS information is given to city managers in the form of a written report.

This allows a council to easily identify concerns and work proactively to solve any discovered issues.

​Similar to the pavement assessment, this report can also be given in the form of a city council presentation in order to promote a clear-eyed view of the city’s current and upcoming sidewalk needs.
