DCD Accreditation

The Data Capture Device (DCD) forms one important link in the chain from the highway inspector’s eye to the pavement management system.  The software in the DCD is designed to make the process of recording and reporting the observed defects, and pavement condition, as simple and straightforward as possible.  But it also needs to be consistent between different manufacturers and service providers, and between different generations of the software.

DCD software was originally tested some years ago. Since then there have been changes in the UKPMS specification, and specifically in volume 2 of the UKPMS User Guide, revised earlier this year.  The UKPMS Support Contractor has developed a new accredtation test procedure for DCD Software, to ensure it meets UKPMS requirements. 

If you provide DCD software to load visual survey data to UKPMS accredited systems and would like to have your software accredited, please contact:
