Pennsylvania Department of Transportation's (PennDOT) VideoLog
PennDOT's VideoLog was initially developed as part of a maintenance and operations pavement survey. The program is now managed through the efforts of the Bureau of Maintenance and Operations, the Bureau of Planning and Research-GIS Division, and outside video vendors.
The online VideoLog displays interval photographs of road segments and allows a user to scroll through multiple photographs. VideoLog data is collected by a vehicle called a VideoLog Van or Video Van. Videologging provides information on all of the following: pavement roughness data, geometric information (e.g., horizontal and vertical curve data, grade, traffic signals, cross-slope, super elevation), rumble strip locations, and other feature types and locations. Comprehensive updates to data displayed in the VideoLog occur periodically. For more information on the VideoLog, please click here.
