Problem
Municipalities and infrastructure partners face challenges in efficiently monitoring road conditions and infrastructure assets, often relying on manual inspections that are time-consuming, costly, and prone to inconsistencies. Detecting deficiencies, ensuring regulatory compliance, and making informed decisions about maintenance and resource allocation can be difficult without real-time, comprehensive data.
Solution
Iris provides an AI-powered platform called Asset Guardian that automates road and infrastructure asset monitoring. The platform uses data from sources like dashcams and existing intelligent transportation systems (ITS) to detect road defects such as potholes and cracks, as well as to identify and inventory roadway assets like traffic signs and streetlights. Asset Guardian delivers real-time insights through a secure dashboard, enabling proactive maintenance, compliance adherence, and data-driven decision-making. The system integrates with existing work order management systems and enterprise resource planning (ERP) platforms, streamlining workflows and improving operational efficiency.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes municipalities, state departments of transportation, and infrastructure concessionaires responsible for road maintenance, asset management, and regulatory compliance.
