About vialytics:
vialytics offers a solution for the road maintenance management of municipalities, counties and infrastructure operators. An artificial intelligence automatically records and evaluates the condition of the road infrastructure. The data is provided by municipal vehicles, such as garbage trucks.
A smartphone attached to the windscreen uses a motion sensor to record vibrations, a camera delivers pictures and the GPS receiver determines the location. The data collected in this way is evaluated by the vialytics system's artificial intelligence, and the data is made available to the municipality in a geographic information system (GIS).
Damage can hence be automatically detected in time and necessary maintenance measures can be efficiently planned. vialytics is constantly expanding its range of services and positions itself as a partner of municipalities for innovative and efficient maintenance of roads and municipal infrastructure.
