Laser-scanning cars survey Praunheim/Hausen and Nordend, so a crack enters the pavement management system before it becomes an expensive pothole. Frankfurt plans to cover the whole city in 2026.

Specially equipped scan cars survey road surfaces with 3D laser point clouds and panoramic imagery across two pilot districts, Praunheim/Hausen and Nordend, feeding a GIS-based Pavement Management System that flags cracks and potholes early so repairs happen before they get expensive. Frankfurt plans a citywide rollout in 2026.
