Road Analyzer?

Spotted this in the Safe-way parking lot in Leesburg. Never seen one of these trucks before. From Roadware:


Fugro Roadware has re-introduced the ARAN - now the ARAN 9000! The ARAN has been retooled to meet the rigorous data collection requirements of the road infrastructure data collection community. The ARAN's robust platform has been expanded to deliver:
  • 50% reduction in computing hardware over the previous platform with the same functionality
  • Database driven systems
  • Robust, fault tolerant systems
  • Plug and play system integration
  • Microsoft.net platform
  • Realtime sub-cm data synchronization
  • Advanced mission management software
  • Increased portability of subsystem components
  • Global solution with interfaces in several languages
  • User friendly operating system to minimize training costs and operator error
  • Industry-defining warranty
  • Dynamic architecture supporting future upgrades


With all of that, I wonder if it can find potholes?

What is a Ran-o-matic anyway?

Randall has a lifelong fascination with technology. He attempted to assemble his first computer from discarded vacuum tubes, assorted salvaged parts, and Christmas tree lights when he was 11. After finding this more difficult than he at first thought, he studied mathematics and physics at Virginia Tech, and computer science at George Mason University. He continues this education every day.
