Problem
Municipalities and private road operators face challenges in efficiently monitoring road conditions, managing roadway assets, and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards, often relying on manual inspections that are time-consuming and costly. Identifying and addressing road defects and inventorying assets like traffic signs and streetlights through traditional methods can be inaccurate and delay necessary maintenance.
Solution
IRIS offers an AI-powered solution for automated road assessments and asset management, utilizing specialized cameras and a data visualization dashboard to provide insights into road conditions. The system captures and processes images of roadways to identify defects such as potholes and cracks, as well as inventorying roadway assets like traffic signs and street lights. The AI-driven dashboard integrates with existing work order management systems, enabling efficient identification and prioritization of maintenance needs, reducing operational costs, and improving compliance with regulatory standards. The platform prioritizes public privacy through automated image redaction.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes municipalities, public works departments, and private road operators responsible for road maintenance, asset management, and regulatory compliance.
