Parking lots & paved sites

Parking lot inspection from a 15-minute drone flight.

HALO AI turns the flight into an ASTM D6433 pavement condition report, usually back the same day: repair quantities ready for a bid or a budget, and every trip hazard on the lot mapped and measured.

HALO AI reads high-resolution drone imagery of parking lots and paved sites and returns a measured defect inventory, an ASTM D6433 Pavement Condition Index, and a map of every defect and trip hazard on the lot. A lot runs in about three hours and lands the same day you flew. Coverage is 100% of the surface, where a walking inspection samples 10 to 20%, and cracks are detected from 1 mm. Every quantity you bid from is measured off the imagery, so the number you price and the number you defend at closeout are the same number.

The platform, live

A real lot, scored.

This is a parking lot in HALO AI, not a screenshot of one. Every colour on the surface is a scored section, and every distress under it was measured off the imagery.

For paving & construction contractors

A bid takeoff, measured from the air.

The lot never closes. Fifteen minutes of flight time comes back as a complete measured inventory: every crack, pothole, and failed patch with its dimensions and its coordinates. You price from quantities in square meters, each one traceable to the dated frame of the surface it came off.

  • A bid takeoff the same day: repair quantities by defect type, in square meters and counts.
  • Change orders that hold, backed by dated, georeferenced imagery.
  • Pre-existing conditions on the record before you break ground.
  • Before and after surveys that close out warranty questions.

For asset owners & property managers

One standard across every lot you manage.

A portfolio gets assessed by whichever contractor is standing on it, which is why two similar lots come back with different verdicts and different quotes. HALO AI runs the same model and the same ASTM D6433 math on every site, every year.

  • Rank the portfolio: a PCI per lot, ordered by condition and the cost of waiting.
  • Check every quote against measured quantities.
  • Confirm the work you paid for with a survey before and a survey after.

€130/m²Rebuild it later, once reconstruction is the only option left.

Every year of waiting is a decision, whether or not anyone made it.

Safety & liability

Find every trip hazard on the lot before a visitor does.

HALO AI measures height and depth across the whole lot from the same 15-minute flight, so every place a visitor could trip or slip comes back located, photographed, and measured. The result is a trip-hazard map ranked by severity, which tells a property manager, an HOA, or a retail or facility owner what to fix first, and leaves a dated record of the lot's condition.

  • Trip hazards, with their heights: potholes measured for depth, faulted and settled slab joints, bumps and sags, shoving and swells, and drop-offs at the pavement edge.
  • Slip hazards: standing water reported by volume, and raveled surface where loose stone collects underfoot.
  • Walkways and sidewalks in the same survey as the lot, so the route from the car to the door is measured end to end.
  • Proof of the fix: fly again after the repair and the next survey records the hazard as gone, dated, for your insurer and your files.

When a trip-and-fall claim arrives, you answer it with a dated survey of the exact spot.

HALO AI traces every crack bay by bay and masks out the cars and islands. Every trace becomes a measured row in the quantities table.

Shipped capabilities

What HALO AI finds on a parking lot.

Every ASTM D6433 distress, each with its dimensions, its severity, and its coordinates.

  • Longitudinal, transverse & alligator cracking: detected from 1 mm, with length, width, and area measured to 98% accuracy.
  • Potholes: count, area, and measured depth at every location.
  • Patch condition: existing patches rated, failing patches flagged for rework.
  • Raveling, bleeding & distortion: mapped by extent and severity.
  • Sealed vs unsealed cracks: sealing condition drives both severity and budget, so it is detected and recorded.
  • Change vs the previous survey: new and worsening defects tracked between inspections.

The resolution a lot needs.

Engineering-grade ASTM D6433 PCI on asphalt runs at about 5 mm/px, which any survey-grade drone can fly over a lot. See what qualifies, or send us a sample and we'll confirm within 24 hours whether it does.

FAQ

Parking lot inspection questions.

A typical lot runs in about three hours and comes back the same day you flew. Fly in the morning, price the job in the afternoon.

No. Capture happens from the air over a working lot: no cones, no lane taping, nobody walking between parked cars. HALO AI detects vehicles in the imagery alongside the distresses, and where a site is heavily parked we plan the window with you.

High-resolution, georeferenced imagery at about 5 mm/px ground sampling distance, which is what makes the PCI hold up in an engineering review. Any survey-grade drone produces it over a lot. See the requirements on the HALO AI page.

A walking survey samples a share of the surface and estimates the rest. HALO AI measures all of it, and every defect arrives located and quantified. See the full breakdown in our inspection methods comparison.

Yes, from the same 15-minute flight. HALO AI measures the height or depth of potholes, faulted and settled slab joints, bumps and sags, shoving and swells, and drop-offs at the pavement edge, reports standing water by volume, and maps raveled surface where loose stone collects. Every hazard is pinned to a coordinate with its photo and ranked by severity, so you get a trip-hazard map and the order to fix them in.

Yes. Each survey is dated, and every hazard in it carries its measured height or depth, its coordinate, and a photo, so it records the condition of the lot on a known day. Fly again after the repair and the second survey records the fix. When a claim arrives, those two surveys are what you hand to your insurer and your attorney.

Yes, and consistency across sites is the reason to do it that way: the same model and the same metrics on every lot, every year, so the ranking is comparable. Portfolios run under an annual license. See pricing.

The variables are total paved area, how many sites, and how often you resurvey. Most clients start with the fixed-price pilot below, or see how pricing works.
