PAS 2161 Road Condition Monitoring

Supporting Local Authorities Through the Transition to PAS 2161

PAS 2161:2024 introduces a new national reporting standard for Road Condition Monitoring in England, changing how local highway authorities collect, process and report carriageway condition data.

At WDM, we support authorities with flexible survey solutions that help meet PAS 2161 requirements while retaining the value of robust, objective, engineering-led road condition data.

Flexible PAS 2161 Survey Options

From the 2026/27 survey season, WDM offers three survey options.

This offers clients the flexibility to adapt survey strategies to local requirements, reporting obligations and longer-term asset management needs.

  • RAV-based SCANNER Survey

    For authorities continuing with established SCANNER-based condition monitoring.

  • RAV-based SCANNER Survey and PAS 2161

    A combined approach, enabling authorities to retain detailed SCANNER-level data while also producing PAS 2161 outputs.

  • Standalone PAS 2161 Survey

    A focused PAS-compliant survey option for authorities requiring reporting aligned to the new standard.

One Survey, Multiple Outputs

Through our collaboration with SmartVision, developed by Metricell, we can combine highway surveying expertise with AI-driven analytics to support PAS 2161-compliant reporting.

The integrated approach brings together:

  • Survey data capture
  • AI-based analysis
  • PAS 2161 reporting
  • Additional insight from existing SCANNER-level data
  • Potential future inventory and asset data outputs

This means authorities can benefit from one survey platform delivering multiple outputs and insights.

Helping You Plan the Right Survey Strategy

PAS 2161 reporting is carriageway-based rather than lane-based, which means careful consideration is needed when planning network coverage, particularly across classified A, B and C roads.

WDM works with authorities to review existing survey approaches, understand national reporting requirements and develop practical strategies that support compliance without losing valuable historic insight.

WDM brings decades of experience in road condition surveying, asset management and engineering interpretation. Our PAS 2161 offering is designed to help authorities:

  • Meet new national reporting requirements
  • Maintain continuity with existing survey programmes
  • Retain granular, objective condition data
  • Reduce manual interpretation through AI-supported analysis
  • Turn survey outputs into meaningful asset management insight

Why Choose WDM?

Whether you need a standalone PAS 2161 survey, a combined SCANNER and PAS approach, or support planning your transition strategy, WDM can help you move forward with confidence.
