Overview
International Cybernetics Company (ICC) makes equipment and software to measure and analyze road conditions. Its hardware devices collect data on ride quality, rutting, and friction from road surfaces, helping government agencies and engineering firms assess roadway safety and maintenance needs. In 2022 ICC merged with Infrastructure Management Services (IMS) to form ICC-IMS, bringing together hardware, software, and data analysis with Pavement Management services under one organization. In 2025, private equity firm Clarion Capital Partners invested to build a broader platform for infrastructure testing, inspection, and certification that covers the entire lifecycle of mobility infrastructure. The company’s goal is to provide tools, services, and insights that support the design, maintenance, and ongoing evaluation of road networks, combining equipment, software, and expert consulting to keep infrastructure safe and well-maintained.
