[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3582112, member: 7900"] Update: I asked today and was told that I could share some photos with you that are already on the company's website. First off, here is one image of what some of the vans look like. Since different states may want additional information, some vans have additional equipment (and computer server to match) to get that information. [IMG]https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57978fefcd0f688f77aa40b3/1564176744054-H36R3EVE02RSSSO6D9T2/ke17ZwdGBToddI8pDm48kH208MuJOMVEqSrw4FYTKA57gQa3H78H3Y0txjaiv_0fDoOvxcdMmMKkDsyUqMSsMWxHk725yiiHCCLfrh8O1z5QPOohDIaIeljMHgDF5CVlOqpeNLcJ80NK65_fV7S1UYU9LC4yAdeC5rDzXfgs2jL1TBdl6ckT8HZ8T_j2Pab_4AE22lpcLzlaiGAl25fo5g/PathRunner+Main.jpg?format=1500w[/IMG] The box on the roof at the front of the van has three forward facing cameras getting images of the roadway in front and the ditches. The system on the back with the silver box (actually two of those in this van) are imaging the roadway surface. There is a (hard to see) black pedestal on the roof in the middle that takes pictures around the vehicle using 5 cameras in that system. The reference to the Distance Measuring Instrument is not visible in this image. That device is actually on the other side of the van. Next is an image that shows some of what the state's DOT personnel can see.

The grey, textured looking image at the right is one of the images taken with the rear imaging system. The part which shows a satellite view of a town shows different colors on the roadway which are indications of rough parts of the roadway.
