Two ways to capture the data that powers our AI services — an everyday smartphone for low-cost, network-wide coverage, or a dedicated dashcam instrument for fleet-grade inspection. Both feed the same digital twin pipeline.
Option 1Smartphone-based sensing
We are revolutionising how road quality is measured by using everyday smartphones mounted in vehicles. Traditional road smoothness checks are too expensive and too rare — they miss many problems and limit how often you can assess the network. Our mobile AI changes that.
We've developed a robust system that uses advanced AI to turn the motions felt by a smartphone into an accurate measure of pavement roughness. The phone becomes the sensor; the AI does the heavy lifting.
Affordable hardware
Replace costly, specialised survey vehicles with the smartphones your team already carries.
Network-wide reach
Continuous, high-frequency monitoring across your entire road network — not just sampled corridors.
AI-corrected signal
Trained on real-world data, the AI filters out interference like vehicle type and speed for reliable roughness measurements.
Smartphone-based pavement roughness capture in action.
The impact is simple: frequent, precise, and inexpensive data on the condition of your roads — letting you prioritise maintenance efficiently and improve driver safety.
Option 2
Dedicated sensing instruments
For fleet-grade deployments and modules that demand higher imagery quality, we provide a purpose-built dashcam instrument. Each unit pairs a wide-angle high-resolution camera with onboard GNSS in a robust enclosure designed for easy vehicle mounting.
Designed for inspection workflows
Our instruments are engineered to slot into your existing fleet without specialist crews. The same unit can be deployed in two configurations depending on what you're inspecting:
Wider scene
Mounted high on the windscreen, the camera captures broader road context — ideal for parking signs and overhead signage.
Edge focus
Mounted lower, the camera focuses on the kerb edge and pavement surface — ideal for kerb & channel and defect detection.
One backend
Both configurations feed the same AI services and the same Visualisation Portal — switch mounts without changing your workflow.
Choosing between smartphone and instrument
Most clients use both. Smartphone capture suits whole-of-network roughness sweeps and citizen-science pilots; the dedicated instrument suits scheduled inspection drives where image quality, repeatability, and rugged mounting matter. Either way, the data lands in the same pipeline — feeding the parking, pavement, kerb & channel, and any future iRoadTech module.
Pair it with
Parking Sign Detection
Best paired with the high-mount instrument for clear views of overhead and post-mounted signage.
Road Defect Detection
Use smartphones for roughness coverage and the low-mount instrument for high-resolution defect imagery.
Kerb & Channel
Low-mount instrument captures the kerb edge in detail for repeatable condition assessment.
