Problem
Road surface defects like potholes and cracks lead to increased costs for drivers, contribute to microplastic pollution from tire wear, and generate higher vehicle emissions due to poor road conditions. Traditional road maintenance methods are often slow, costly, and require significant manual labor, leading to delayed repairs and further infrastructure degradation.
Solution
Robotiz3d offers a suite of autonomous road maintenance solutions designed to detect, prevent, and repair road surface defects with minimal human intervention. Their technology includes the ARRES Eye, a system for automated pothole detection and repair prioritization, the ARRES Prevent, a semi-autonomous robot that seals cracks to prevent pothole formation, and the ARRES Ultra, a semi-autonomous vehicle that detects, prevents, and repairs potholes. These battery-powered systems provide detailed road condition data, automate repair workflows, and reduce the time, cost, and environmental impact associated with traditional road maintenance. Robotiz3d's solutions enable faster, more efficient, and sustainable road maintenance, helping to build safer and more durable road infrastructure.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes local governments, road maintenance contractors, and infrastructure management companies responsible for maintaining road networks and minimizing the costs and disruptions associated with road surface defects.
Features
- **ARRES Eye:** Automated pothole detection system that can be installed on existing vehicles to survey and analyze road surface conditions, identify road defects (cracks, potholes, manholes), and prioritize repairs based on detailed data.
- **ARRES Prevent:** Semi-autonomous robot that autonomously patrols roads (driverlessly or via remote control) to find and seal cracks in order to prevent potholes from forming.
- **ARRES Ultra:** Semi-autonomous vehicle that detects, prevents, and repairs potholes, automating repair processes from site preparation and filling to compaction and finishing.
- **Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) model:** Eliminates large upfront costs, with Robotiz3d maintaining all hardware and software.
- **Data Collection:** Collects data at speeds up to 60mph, scanning one lane at a time with a field of view up to 3.0m, providing depth information and volumetrics.
- **Remote Monitoring:** Enables remote viewing of data and jobs in near real-time.
- **Environmental Benefits:** Reduces CO2 emissions and material wastage compared to traditional methods.
