Automate Roadway Condition Assessment

By integrating 360° street-level imagery and AI-derived insights, state and local governments can enhance geospatial data capture to improve the management and maintenance of carriageways and footways. Leveraging LiDAR data integration and automated data capture solutions, agencies can proactively assess infrastructure condition, optimize urban mobility mapping, and ensure street-level mapping accuracy. This technology enhances safety, efficiency, and sustainability in public infrastructure management, enabling data-driven decision-making and reducing maintenance costs.

Avoid time consuming and manual surveys. Stream updated condition data directly into your workflows.

  • Rank defects by severity and potential impact on safety, prioritize repairs for maximum effect.
  • Identify hazards including uneven surfaces, debris, or obstructions that pose risks to pedestrians and vehicles.
  • Post-repair imagery can be analyzed to assess the effectiveness and quality of maintenance work.
  • Automatically detect and assess potholes and other surface defects on roads and sidewalks.
  • Identify cracks and categorize them by severity, allowing for targeted maintenance efforts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got any questions?

We’ve gathered some of the most common questions we receive to help you find answers quickly. If you can’t find the answer you’re looking for, simply get in touch with our team and we’ll be happy to answer any questions you may have.

What is “carriageway condition assessment” and how does it work?

It’s an automated workflow that uses 360° street-level imagery with AI-derived insights (and optional LiDAR integration) to analyse surface condition, hazards, and right-of-way features—so agencies can manage and maintain roads and footways more effectively.

Which defects can you detect automatically?

The solution can detect potholes and other surface defects, identify cracks and categorise severity, and flag hazards like uneven surfaces, debris, or obstructions for targeted maintenance and safety action.

How does this reduce manual surveys and speed up maintenance?

By streaming updated condition data directly into your workflows, you can prioritise repairs by severity and impact, verify post-repair outcomes with fresh imagery, and avoid time-consuming, bespoke field surveys.

Do you support GIS integration and asset inventories?

Yes—outputs support infrastructure inventory and mapping (e.g., crosswalks, curb ramps, bike lanes) so you can keep GIS layers current and plan maintenance/compliance activities inside existing workflows.

Can this help with resilience and emergency response?

Absolutely. Agencies can prioritise emergency response after severe weather or disasters, rapidly assessing the condition of roads and sidewalks to focus resources where they’re needed most.

How scalable is the service?

Delivered as Data as a Service (DaaS), it scales from a single suburb to an entire state road network, making street-level data and AI-assisted assessments accessible regardless of jurisdiction size.
