Geospatial solutions transforming key infrastructure sectors ​

According to the recent studies conducted by the American Society of Civil Engineers, the lack of road repair and expansion translates into an annual economic cost of more than $100 billion. Detecting road markings, asphalt damage, and horizontal signs, and all sorts of problems before they occur is crucial to civil engineers who are responsible for the continuous maintenance and upgrades to the existing road infrastructure.

Road maintenance is an expensive and almost never-ending process, as road condition needs to be continuously and rigorously monitored. What makes things worse, postponing the necessary work or the lack of action, can quickly lead to an emergency, where all the main roads need to be repaired at the same time.
Top researchers from Cornell Local Roads Program have estimated that the annual cost of managing a mile of the road in New York varied from $4,429 to $10,440. No wonder why the city councils and other local governments that often have to operate on tight budgets are seeking ways to improve and optimize road management.
Picterra is the perfect tool to detect road cracks and other elements of city infrastructure. Using drone imagery and geospatial artificial intelligence it makes possible to automate the grunt work of identifying and classifying defects.

Picterra’s solution provides operational dashboards & alert feeds that leverage cutting-edge machine learning, automated tasking of satellite imagery, and aerial data sources to give you a near-real-time view of your critical business assets.

Infrastructure asset management, sustainable design, and emergency services play a major role in the development of city resilience. This is often based on the success of everyday operations & maintenance of infrastructure, cross-departmental collaboration and multi-stakeholder decision making. Picterra enables city authorities to monitor and evaluate property owners, land parcels, and their respective compliance with taxation. Picterra makes it possible to reduce labor cost and fast response time by saving long hours of on-site inspection and inspecting places that are hard to access by people, not only during the pandemic.
