How a single drive becomes a road safety audit
From windscreen to regulator-ready report: video flows through preprocessing, detection, segmentation and classification — and comes out as maps, inventories and dashboards your teams can act on.
- No specialist rig
- No lane closures
- Same-day results, typical
Four steps, start to finish
An AI road safety audit runs in four steps: mount a standard dashcam, drive the route at normal traffic speed, let the AI detect and GPS-tag every defect it passes, then receive maps, inventories and a regulator-ready report. No specialist rig and no lane closure at any stage.
- Step 01
Mount the camera
Any dashcam or smartphone on the windscreen will do. There's nothing to calibrate and no survey van to book — if the camera can see the road, the pipeline can read it.
- Step 02
Drive the route
Run the route as part of normal operations, at everyday traffic pace — no road closures, no traffic-management plan. The survey happens while the vehicle does its day job.
- Step 03
AI processes the video
Back at base, the vision stack sweeps the footage at 45–60 FPS, spotting and classifying every defect and safety asset and stamping each one with its GPS position.
- Step 04
Get GPS-tagged reports
The results land as an interactive defect map, kilometre-by-kilometre inventories, and exports your auditors can file — typically the same day the drive finishes.
Five clicks from footage to evidence
Once the drive is done the platform takes over in five moves: choose your input, run the AI on CPU or GPU, review what it found, inspect the results on a map, then export the evidence. GPS is stamped onto every finding automatically — nobody ever types in a location.

What lands on your desk
Every run finishes as evidence you can open, question, and hand to a regulator — each result pinned to where it was seen, the exact frame it was seen in, and how sure the model was.

Questions about the process itself
How long does a road audit take end to end?
Same-day is typical. The drive itself runs at normal traffic speed, detection processes video at 45–60 frames per second, and the remaining time is review. What used to be weeks of field collection becomes hours of checking a completed dataset.
Do roads need to be closed during the survey?
No. The vehicle stays in the traffic stream at ordinary speed, so there is no lane closure, no traffic management plan, and no booking window. That is the main reason surveying can be repeated monthly rather than rationed to once a year.
What do I have to do before the first run?
Mount a standard dashcam behind the windscreen and drive the route. GPS is captured automatically alongside the video, so nothing has to be logged by hand. Still images and live camera feeds are accepted too, not only recorded video.
What happens if the AI misses a defect?
Roughly one pothole in seven goes unflagged on a single pass. Because repeat surveys are cheap and defects do not move, a miss in one month is usually caught the next — by which point it is larger and easier to detect, not harder.
Does the video work in rain or poor light?
Detection degrades as visibility does, exactly as a human inspector's would. The practical mitigation is the same one that handles missed detections: surveys cheap enough to repeat mean a poor run is re-driven rather than relied upon.
