What are the expected data deliverables
Would it be raw sensor data, processed reports, GIS-integrated condition assessments, or a combination? Does the DOT have an existing asset management system or database that the inspection data must integrate with?

That information is to be determined as part of the project. The researchers should envision a 3- or 4-level deliverable. The top level would be a regulatory finding: location/identification number with a letter grade or pass/fail. The next level would be a more technical report representing the findings. The next level would be a data report of measurements and images for future documentation/reference and training. The fourth level if applicable may be semi-quantitative and fit somewhere between the rating and the technical report.
