Mavisoft / Solutions / Airport Inspector

100% pavement coverage. 20–30% before.
AI has fewer missed cracks than a human.

Airport Inspector runs annual LCMS-based pavement inspection with ASTM D5340 PCI ratings, year-over-year condition trends, and GIS-ready output. It has run at Schiphol every year since 2023.

What Airport Inspector does

Annual pavement inspection. Full coverage. Machine-classified.

Airport Inspector runs across your full airfield and delivers ASTM D5340 PCI ratings, year-over-year condition trends, and GIS-ready output. No sampling. No subjectivity.

01 — Inspect

100% coverage, every time.

Manual inspectors cover 20-30% of an apron by walking it. Airport Inspector runs across the full surface. Every crack, every joint, every repair instance is found and classified. Nothing is skipped because of time pressure or available headcount on the day.

02 — Classify

ASTM D5340 PCI ratings, consistent and machine-generated.

Every defect is classified to ASTM D5340 and assigned a PCI rating. The same classification logic runs on every survey, every year. Results are directly comparable across cycles because the classifier does not vary between operators or conditions.

03 — Report

Year-over-year trends and GIS-ready data.

Every run produces condition maps, PCI scores by zone, and maintenance priority lists. Year-over-year comparison is built in. Your asset management system can ingest the output directly, without manual re-entry or format conversion.

Proven at Schiphol

Four annual cycles, approved by the operator's maintenance contractor.

Airport Inspector has run at Schiphol every year since 2023. In March 2026, Volker Wessels, Schiphol's primary maintenance contractor, formally approved the AI damage classification for consistent operational use. The two views below are the proof.

“AI has fewer missed cracks than a human.”

05.1

Full coverage, not a 20-30% sample.

Manual sampling reaches a fraction of the surface; the AI fills the entire grid. The gap between them is the missed-defect risk carried today.

05.2

Find it early, or replace it later.

Asset health falls over time. Caught early, a small intervention extends service life; missed, the curve drops off a cliff into failure and replacement.

How it works

Survey to PCI-rated condition map in one run.

01

Capture pavement data

LCMS survey pass or drone flight across the full airfield. Self-serve upload or managed delivery.

02

AI classifies every defect

Cracks, joints, and repairs are found, classified to ASTM D5340, and assigned a PCI score per zone.

03

Year-over-year comparison built in

Results are mapped to the same coordinate reference as prior runs. Condition change is visible without manual cross-referencing.

04

Export for maintenance planning

GeoJSON, condition maps, PDF inspection reports. Priority lists route directly into your asset management system.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

The questions we hear most from operations leaders, technical evaluators, and procurement teams.

No. You can use Mavisoft's preferred partner SWIC, already active globally, or bring your existing LCMS subcontractor. Airport Inspector processes the data package they deliver. No proprietary capture hardware required.

At Schiphol, the AI delivers 100% pavement coverage against the 20–30% a human team covers by sampling. Volker Wessels formally approved the classification for consistent operational use in March 2026.

Yes. Every detection references the exact model version, workflow version, and zone-set that produced it. Findings are reproducible and auditable long after the inspection runs.

Your airfield team or their designated contractor. Human approval is the gate, not optional post-processing.
