RoadScout
Survey-grade road intelligence

Your fleet already drives every road.
Turn every trip into a survey

RoadScout transforms any fleet vehicle into an AI-powered road inspection platform, producing engineering-grade condition surveys, defect inventories and work-order-ready evidence automatically.

The whole apparatus

The hardware is a phone or our device.
Never a survey truck.

Traditional methods restrict you to one expensive survey a year, and minor defects go unrecorded until they deteriorate into costly repairs. RoadScout captures continuously, whenever your vehicles are on the network. No specialist surveyor, calibration or training required: anyone can collect data.

SEC. 01 / CAPTURE

The RoadScout app running on a dash-mounted Android phone, detecting a patch repair with confidence score while drivingMETHOD 01

The RoadScout app: any Android, any vehicle

Install the app, mount the phone on the windshield, drive. Capture runs automatically during normal operations: refuse rounds, inspections, patrols, or dedicated passes. Five-minute setup, no vehicle modifications, no calibration.

The RoadScout capture device mounted on a windshieldMETHOD 02

The RoadScout device: fit it once, survey forever

A permanently installed capture unit for fleets that should never think about it. It powers with the ignition, captures every trip and uploads by itself. No phone to mount, no operator, no missed rounds. Your whole fleet becomes standing survey infrastructure.

01 · CAPTURE

Mount & drive

Any Android on any vehicle: refuse trucks, patrol utes, graders. The route you already drive is the survey plan.

02 · SYNC

Upload happens by itself

Frames and telemetry stream straight to the cloud over presigned uploads. Faces and plates are anonymised automatically for GDPR.

03 · ANALYSE

Five models read every frame

Defects, signs, markings, infrastructure and assets, plus corrugation, grade and roughness from motion telemetry. Clustered into reviewable events.

04 · ACT

From map to work order

Accept or decline with photo evidence, raise work orders, export to ArcGIS/QGIS, plan budgets on deterioration forecasts.

On your schedule

Road asset management you control.

Replace the annual contractor survey with continuous data collection you run yourself: earlier intervention, better budget allocation, and an evidence trail behind every decision.

SEC. 02 / USE CASES

PLANNED MAINTENANCE

From reactive repair to early intervention

Surface defects, condition scores and a photographic record in a single pass: a continuously updated picture of network condition, same-day, instead of a weeks-long contractor turnaround. Deterioration forecasts turn it into a multi-year works programme.

SAFETY INSPECTIONS

Inspect remotely, verify with evidence

Every surveyed route carries a time-stamped visual record. Inspectors review, accept or decline detections from the desk, with photo evidence and GPS fix, cutting repeat site visits and supporting safety audits.

ASSET INVENTORY

An inventory that updates itself

Signs with 1 to 5 condition rating, line and surface markings, guardrails, street lights, manholes and drains, catalogued automatically on every pass. As your vehicles drive for any purpose, the register stays current at no additional cost.

LIABILITY PROTECTION

Prove the road's condition on any date

When a claim lands, point to the record: geo-tagged evidence frames, condition scores, review decisions and work orders. The state of that road on that date, and the actions taken. The same record powers budget requests and funding applications.

Detection coverage

Sixty-five classes. Named, not implied.

Video-AI vendors say "multiple distresses and assets." Here is our actual production class list: five YOLO models trained on 74,000+ images, measured and published.

Standards, not vibes

Numbers your engineers already trust.

Every 100 m segment is scored on the scales your pavement engineers, auditors and funding applications already use, not a proprietary score you have to take on faith.

Field evidence

Every detection ships with its proof.

Highway, suburban street or haul road: every clustered event keeps its evidence frames, GPS fix and confidence score, ready for the council meeting or the contractor dispute.
