SPR-5031: Developing INDOT Road Crack Image Datasets for Advanced Analytics Research

The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) requires a comprehensive, annotated crack image dataset from falling weight deflectometer (FWD) testing to enable advanced analytics for pavement management. This project delivers systematically labeled crack images to correlate with structural deflection data, and standardized annotation protocol. Dataset enables automated crack detection, enhanced structural assessment capabilities, and data-driven pavement management decisions while leveraging existing image archives cost-effectively through annotators.
