Case study · Public works

Road damage, mapped while you drive.

Counties pay consultants serious money to tell them what their own graders drive past every week. We built the opposite: a vehicle-mounted pothole sensor and a companion phone app, developed in-house, that turn the driving your crews already do into a mapped, time-stamped record of road condition.

Before

The situation

Road condition lives in crews' heads and residents' complaint calls. When council asks "how bad are the roads, really?" the honest answer is an anecdote, and grant applications lean on estimates.

The build

What we built

A sensor unit that mounts on a vehicle and detects road impacts while driving, paired with a phone app that captures, locates, and uploads events. No new routes, no new habits: the data collects itself on the drives that already happen.

After

What it changes

Road damage becomes a map with dates and severity instead of a feeling. Patch season gets a priority list, council gets evidence, and grant applications get data instead of adjectives.

The modules

Click through how it works.

From the bracket on the truck to the report in the council package. Notice which pieces your municipality is currently doing with a clipboard, or not at all.

The interactive explorer needs JavaScript. The modules: vehicle sensor unit, companion app, damage map, severity scoring, route history, planning exports, grant evidence. Ask us what your county's version looks like.

We'll look at how your municipality currently tracks road condition and public works, and give you a fixed quote for your version, from a single sensor pilot to the full picture. The fee credits toward the project.
