Citylogix and NIRA Dynamics add live IRI monitoring for municipal roads

Citylogix has partnered with NIRA Dynamics to add International Roughness Index monitoring to its pavement data platform for municipalities across North America. The integration combines survey-vehicle readings and connected-vehicle data to give road managers a more current view of pavement performance between inspection cycles. Why it matters: - Municipalities can now track both ride quality and surface distress in one system, giving asset managers a fuller view of pavement health. - The combined data is designed to improve maintenance timing, target inspections more precisely, and support capital planning with fresher road-condition information. - The offering is available to new and existing Citylogix clients, broadening access to IRI monitoring at municipal scale. What happened: - Citylogix announced a strategic partnership with NIRA Dynamics on June 18, 2026, to integrate International Roughness Index monitoring into Citylogix’s pavement data platform. - Citylogix’s new VW survey fleet is equipped with NIRA’s Tire Grip Indicator, which captures IRI data on every survey pass. - NIRA-connected vehicles also feed data into Citylogix between survey cycles, creating a continuous time series of road-condition readings. - Citylogix says the partnership expands what pavement monitoring can deliver across North America. The details: - The VW fleet already collects Pavement Condition Index measurements and imagery, and the NIRA system adds IRI to each survey pass. - Citylogix rolls IRI data into a rolling average with PCI results and historical records. - New IRI data enriches the model without replacing existing records. - Both IRI and PCI appear in Citylogix’s GIS-based enterprise asset management software. - The platform lets municipalities monitor arterial networks for rapid changes and damage, run maintenance scenarios, and plan capital investment. - The software also helps agencies target inspections to the sites that need them most. - IRI measures the longitudinal profile of a road surface and quantifies ride quality under live driving conditions. - PCI identifies visible surface distresses, while IRI shows how a road actually performs for drivers and vehicles. - Citylogix serves more than 450 municipalities across North America and operates from Wakefield, Massachusetts, and Montreal, Quebec. - NIRA Dynamics is a Swedish technology company focused on vehicle safety software and road-condition monitoring. - NIRA’s technology is deployed in millions of vehicles worldwide and serves automotive OEMs and infrastructure operators. - Citylogix can be learned about at citylogix.com . - More information is available at NIRA Dynamics . Between the lines: - The partnership pairs survey-grade measurements with always-on connected-vehicle data, which should make road-condition models less dependent on periodic inspections. - The move reflects a broader shift in municipal asset management toward combining field surveys, vehicle data, and GIS tools in a single workflow. - Citylogix’s scale and NIRA’s vehicle-data footprint suggest the companies are aiming for a network-level monitoring product rather than a point solution. What’s next: - Municipalities using Citylogix can start incorporating the new IRI capability now. - Citylogix and NIRA Dynamics are positioning the system as a way to keep road-condition pictures fresher between survey cycles. - The companies say richer road monitoring is becoming available for communities across North America.
