Paving the Future in Lakewood, NJ
Lakewood, New Jersey's fastest-growing municipality, implemented vialytics’ innovative road assessment technology to revolutionize the township's approach to road maintenance. Initially skeptical, Deputy Mayor Menashe P. Miller became an ardent supporter after witnessing the software's ability to provide real-time, accurate road condition data. This technological advancement not only streamlined the previously manual and time-consuming road grading process but also enhanced communication with constituents, allowing for immediate responses to community concerns and more efficient allocation of resources.
Lakewood
Situated in Ocean County, New Jersey, Lakewood Township has taken significant strides in enhancing its infrastructure management. By adopting vialytics' innovative AI-powered Road Management System, Lakewood has dramatically improved its efficiency and responsiveness. This technological advancement has enabled the township to better maintain road quality and address resident concerns, ultimately boosting the overall quality of life for its rapidly growing community.
Lakewood Township, the most populous township in Ocean County, New Jersey, has experienced significant growth over recent decades. As of the 2020 United States Census, Lakewood's population reached an all-time high of 135,158, marking a remarkable increase of 42,315 (45.6%) from the 2010 census.
Prior to installing vialytics, the township struggled to maintain a definitive record of the roads' status conditions, making it difficult for the township to keep up with the necessary maintenance and improvements. “Grading the roads was done manually which was a long and tedious task,” Deputy Mayor Menashe P. Miller explained. “By the time the study was over it was already obsolete.”
Miller, initially a skeptic of the technology, says he started seeing the impact of vialytics from day one. The software helped the township improve efficiency and maintain a real-time status of the conditions of the roads. “I was extremely skeptical of the ability to do what this program claimed it can do,” Miller says. “Ultimately I met with the administration of vialytics and was totally blown away by the presentation.”
"I truly believe that every municipality can enhance efficiency and productivity by using vialytics."
