Each year, the two employees of the State Highway Administration drive thousands of miles in a million-dollar vehicle that looks like a big, orange ambulance. The vehicle, called an “Automated Road Analyzer,” or ARAN for short, is stuffed with high-definition cameras, positioning systems and measuring devices.
Pavement has no privacy from their relentless scrutiny. Foster and Weller take the ARAN for exactly the same drives every year. When they return, they hand over hard drives. The data, about a gigabyte per mile, will reveal detailed images of the roads’ bumps and grooves, along with electronic measurements of every flaw.

How much did it cost the taxpayers? Will it have 4 guys (sorry 4 people of diversity) inside it? 4 people putting orange cones in front of it? And how about the signs promoting this new technology, how many of those will be displayed? Besides Gov Omal already knows that "every" road in MD needs to be replaced!
Drive through the intersection of Eastern Shore Drive and College Avenue. Come on, one of the busiest intersections in Salisbury, let's get it redone.
