MasterMind Completed 1,482 Miles of Sign Inventory
MasterMind recently completed a comprehensive sign inventory covering 1,482 county miles across Portage, Seneca, Williams, and Medina counties, along with LaGrange Township in Ohio. As part of this project, MasterMind drove each route to inventory and inspect every installed traffic sign, ensuring accurate documentation and compliance with current safety standards. Each sign was evaluated for condition, placement, and conformance with MUTCD (Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices) specifications. All collected data was thoroughly reviewed, and work items were recommended where corrective measures—such as replacement, repositioning, or upgrades—were
necessary. Special attention was given to retro-reflectivity measurements to ensure each sign met FHWA guidelines. Signs failing to meet minimum reflectivity standards were identified for replacement to maintain nighttime visibility and roadway safety. The study results were compiled into detailed, easy-to-read reports within MasterMind’s SignMaster™ software module. These reports include signcode images, comprehensive summaries, and prioritized work orders that allow counties and municipalities to efficiently schedule maintenance, allocate resources, and develop long-term sign management plans. This proactive inventory approach supports informed budgeting and ensures safer roadways for the traveling public.
MasterMind Completed 1,357 Miles of No-Passing Zone Studies
MasterMind successfully completed 1,357 miles of No-Passing Zone studies across Greene, Muskingum, and Wayne counties in Ohio. Each route was carefully driven and analyzed to identify No-Passing Zones caused by vertical and horizontal curves, ensuring proper roadway striping in accordance with MUTCD specifications. These studies are essential as roadway conditions and roadside vegetation change over time, impacting sight distance and safety. By collecting GPS coordinates for all T-markings
and integrating GIS-based 360° High-Definition Street Level Video Imagery, MasterMind provides agencies with an efficient and cost-effective way to visualize and plan pavement striping. The results are delivered in the StripeMaster™ software module, offering easy-to-use graphical logs and customizable work items, such as railroad and intersection approach zones. This detailed approach supports compliance, simplifies contract preparation, and ultimately enhances safety for all road users.
MasterMind Completed 1,307 Miles of Pavement Marking Inventory
MasterMind completed 1,307 miles of comprehensive pavement marking inventory across Mahoning, Medina, and Wayne counties in Ohio. A pavement marking inventory is vital for agencies responsible for maintaining roadway safety and compliance. MasterMind systematically documented every pavement marking under each jurisdiction, including centerlines, edgelines, lane lines, crosswalks, turn arrows, ONLY markings, stop bars, school markings, railroad markings, transitional lines, transverse lines, and channel lines. This detailed inventory supports long-term planning, helps prioritize maintenance, and ensures accurate, up-to-date data for pavement
management systems.
MasterMind Completed 831 Miles of Guardrail Inventories
MasterMind successfully completed a total of 831 miles of guardrail inventory across Greene and Wayne Counties in Ohio, providing a detailed assessment of roadside safety infrastructure. Each route was systematically driven to inventory and inspect all installed guardrail systems, including end treatments and bridge end terminal assemblies. The data collected was meticulously reviewed to ensure that recommended work items were placed wherever corrective measures
were necessary. These inspections help identify guardrail that is unneeded, in poor condition, or non-compliant with MUTCD specifications—ensuring that only effective and compliant safety barriers remain in place. The results of the study were delivered through MasterMind’s easy-to-use RailMaster™ software module, which includes comprehensive reports, prioritized work orders, and graphical data representations for all inventoried routes. The inclusion of GIS-based 360° High-Definition Street Level Video Imagery allows agencies to instantly view each guardrail location and assess surrounding conditions. Additionally, all curves and related signage were documented using GPS coordinates and milepoints to assist in accurate location referencing. This guardrail inventory not only aids in planning and prioritizing maintenance but also supports informed budget development and ultimately contributes to safer roadways for the traveling public.
MasterMind Completed a Hazard Study for Highland County, Ohio
MasterMind recently completed a comprehensive roadside hazard study for Highland County, Ohio, covering 393 county miles. As part of the project, MasterMind drove each route, performing a detailed inventory of all roadside hazards located within the designated "clear zone," including fixed objects, parallel slopes, and perpendicular slopes. Utilizing GIS-based 360° High-Definition Street Level Video Imagery, each hazard was precisely documented and linked to visual data, allowing for instant and accurate review. Following the data collection, MasterMind provided a thorough analysis with recommended work items such as guardrail installation, tree removal, and
mailbox relocation—each designed to improve roadside safety and reduce crash risk. The hazard study results were delivered through the user-friendly RailMaster™ software module, complete with easy-to-read graphical reports that display hazards, guardrail needs, and bridge locations across all routes. These detailed findings help Highland County prioritize maintenance work, develop long-term safety plans, and allocate resources efficiently. By identifying and addressing clear zone hazards, this study supports improved public safety and aids in the creation of a reliable, cost-effective maintenance strategy.
MasterMind Completed 18 Speed Zones in Five Different Counties
MasterMind recently completed 18 speed zone studies across four municipalities in Ohio, including Belmont, Holmes, Lorain, and Stark counties. These studies were conducted to help each jurisdiction evaluate and establish appropriate speed limits based on roadway conditions, traffic flow, and crash data. Speed zone studies are an essential tool for enhancing road safety, guiding traffic enforcement, and supporting legal compliance with state and federal guidelines. MasterMind’s
comprehensive approach considers factors such as geometry, volume, sight distance, and roadside development to determine the safest and most practical speed limits for each road segment. As part of the process, updated data was collected to reflect current roadway conditions, changes in traffic volume, and recent crash trends. This information supports evidence-based decisions on speed adjustments and helps agencies develop targeted safety improvements, particularly in areas near schools, neighborhoods, and high-crash locations. By performing these studies, MasterMind not only aids in optimizing traffic flow and reducing congestion but also helps agencies remain compliant with state regulations while improving public safety. The data-driven results allow for the development of long-term speed management strategies, prioritized enforcement zones, and better-informed roadway planning.
