MobileRater for iOS is an app for pavement data collection with a built-in pavement condition index (PCI) calculator. This application is only compatible with StreetSaver Online. It is designed to assist pavement raters to record inspection data quickly and accurately. It can calculate PCI onthe spot, thus improving quality control. It also has the ability to record multiple distresses at the same time, just the way raters would record on paper. At the end of the day, just connect the device to the internet and upload. All the distress data collected will be easily uploaded to the StreetSaver Online Server.
