Tiger Eye Engineering: Smart Pavement Monitoring

Tiger Eye Engineering (TEE) is believed to be the world’s first pavement engineering company devoted to providing cutting-edge machine-learning based software for rapid, bias-free pavement evaluations coupled with an integrated visualization platform. 

TEE was established in 2021 in collaboration with the University of Missouri-Columbia. Our software licensing partnership with the University of Missouri-Columbia keeps TEE at the cutting edge of pavement data science through convenient and continuous transfer of technology developed at Mizzou by TEE’s founding members to the pavement engineering community through Tiger Eye Engineering, LLC. 

 TEE’s flagship software harnesses the power of multiple advanced machine learning algorithms purpose-built for pavement evaluation and rating. Our software delivers accurate, unbiased assessments of pavement conditions (type, extent, and severity of customer-selected distresses) and section-by-section pavement ratings (standard (e.g., PCI) or local/tailored ratings). Other powerful features of TEE’s machine-learning software system include distress identification/model training by TEE’s in-house, internationally renowned pavement experts, the ability for hybrid training and/or training validation by local pavement experts, multi-year and multi-site accuracy improvement over time with increased local, regional and international model training, and seamless export of data and integration with client/local GIS database systems. TEE also has developed software platforms providing clients with user-friendly data visualization and analytics, and rapid, low-cost hardware and software systems for determination of International Roughness Index (IRI) and pavement rut depth.
