Each route was carefully driven to inventory and assess all installed guardrail assemblies, including end treatments and bridge end terminal units. The study identified guardrails requiring maintenance, replacement, or removal and ensured all findings aligned with MUTCD specifications. Utilizing GIS-based
360° High-Definition Street Level Video Imagery, each guardrail segment was precisely located using GPS coordinates and milepoints, allowing for easy review and accurate mapping. Results were delivered through MasterMind’s intuitive RailMaster™ software, featuring easy-to-read graphical reports and recommended work orders to streamline fieldwork, crew scheduling, and budget planning. This comprehensive study empowers Hocking and Portage Counties with the data and tools needed to prioritize guardrail maintenance, enhance roadway safety, and manage long-term infrastructure investments with confidence.
MasterMind Completes 297 Miles of Culvert Inventory in Sandusky County, Ohio
MasterMind recently completed a 297-mile culvert inventory across Sandusky County, Ohio, providing the county with a detailed, GIS-integrated record of its drainage infrastructure. The inventory involved identifying and mapping the location of culverts using precise GPS coordinates, followed by collecting critical data on each culvert’s size, shape, material, and condition. This systematic approach ensures accurate
data entry into a centralized GIS database, enabling county officials to analyze the information for more effective infrastructure management. The study supports key objectives such as prioritizing maintenance and replacements, mitigating flood risks, and improving public safety. Additionally, the data helps Sandusky County prepare for future funding opportunities, supports hazard mitigation planning, and promotes environmental protection by ensuring culverts meet proper design standards. With this comprehensive inventory, Sandusky County now has a powerful tool to manage its culvert network, plan for long-term infrastructure improvements, and protect both its residents and the environment.
MasterMind Finishes 711 Miles of Parcel Photo Extraction
MasterMind recently completed a 711-mile parcel photograph extraction project for the Muskingum County Auditor using advanced mobile mapping technology. By leveraging high-resolution cameras and GPS-enabled mobile systems, MasterMind efficiently captured up-to-date images of properties throughout the county, streamlining the property assessment process. This approach offers significant benefits over traditional data
collection methods. Mobile mapping allows for rapid and safe data collection directly from a vehicle, reducing the need for time-consuming and costly field visits. The high-definition imagery is georeferenced and fully compatible with GIS platforms, ensuring seamless integration into Muskingum County's property records. By extracting parcel photographs through mobile mapping, the Auditor’s office now has access to a comprehensive visual inventory of properties, enhancing the accuracy and fairness of property tax assessments. The imagery not only supports efficient change detection and boundary updates but also promotes transparency for property owners and stakeholders. MasterMind’s mobile mapping solution delivered a cost-effective, safe, and highly accurate method for keeping property data current—ensuring Muskingum County remains at the forefront of modern assessment practices.
MasterMind Completes 40 Speed Zone Studies Across Five Ohio Municipalities
MasterMind recently completed 40 comprehensive speed zone studies across five different jurisdictions in Ohio, including Cuyahoga, Stark, Holmes, and Huron counties, as well as Norwalk Township in Huron County. These studies were conducted to help each municipality establish or update speed limits based on current road conditions, traffic volumes, and safety concerns. Speed zone studies are essential tools for cities,
counties, and townships to ensure that posted speed limits reflect actual driving conditions and enhance safety for all road users. MasterMind’s work included data collection using radar counters, GPS coordinates, and high-definition imagery to provide accurate and actionable insights. Each study analyzed factors such as vehicle volume, 85th percentile speeds, gap time, and crash trends—critical elements in determining safe and appropriate speed limits. Updating speed zone data is vital for adjusting speed limits in response to road improvements, development changes, or evolving traffic patterns. By partnering with MasterMind, these municipalities now have the tools and data needed to improve traffic flow, reduce crash risks, and support fair and consistent speed enforcement. The result is a safer and more efficient roadway network for Ohio’s drivers and communities.
