The collection of existing roadway condition and geometry data is critical to design activities Districtwide and it is required for FDOT to be in compliance with the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO)

Pavement Design Guidelines. The current LWFT is beyond its service life and requires an upgrade to meet FDOT needs.

The upgraded LWFT must be compatible with FDOT's currently owned units and must produce data in the same manner and format as the current units.
