iris roads

iris roads is an AI-driven infratech solution designed to automate road patrolling and roadway asset data collection, helping public and private sectors maintain road infrastructure, comply with standards, and protect communities.

Overview

• End-to-end solution for automated road patrol, pavement assessment, and asset inventory.
• Combines specialized cameras, a flexible dashboard, and a mobile/app ecosystem.
• Focused on safety, privacy, cost reduction, and regulatory compliance.

How it works

• Automated road patrol detects and documents road defects (e.g., potholes, cracks) and inventories up to 300 asset types (traffic signs, street lights, pavement markings, graffiti, etc.).
• Pavement Condition Survey evaluates PCI by identifying cracks, potholes, rutting, roughness, and other distresses.
• Roadway Asset Inventory captures assets with attributes like sign codes, text, street names, and sizes.
• Data is processed, with images redacted for privacy, and outputs feed operation managers and work orders.
• IrisGO camera provides plug-and-play AI-enabled dash cam for patrol vehicles and stationary deployments; irisCITY provides AI-driven data visualization and integration with existing systems.
