How it works
How it works
Flowity Road AI is a service-based machine learning optimized for detecting and analyzing road defects. The system uses Microsoft Azure and is designed to identify seven types of defects, including longitudinal and transverse cracks, severe frost cracks, edge breaks, potholes, wear damage with stone chips.
Defect Area Calculation
A uniqueness of Flowity's system is its ability to accurately calculate the area of each defect. This functionality provides the opportunity to create a decision basis for maintenance plans and calculation of material requirements and an accurate cost estimate for the maintenance work.
Web Interface and Algorithms
For uploading the footage, Flowity Road AI provides a web interface that streamlines the handling and transmission of the information. The interface allows users to choose between two main algorithms based on road type, with segment intervals set to 2.5 meters for bike paths and 4 meters for car roads.
Comprehensive Results
Once processing is complete, the system allows download of results, which include data files in CSV or ESRI shapefile formats. Linked to the data file of all road defects is an image library provided containing segmented video frames showing detected defects. Data files are complete with GPS coordinates for each analyzed segment and detailed measurements of the defects.
Road Segment Summaries
Flowity Road AI comes with the default output in road segments of 10 m with the total area of defects per class in each segment. In addition, Flowity Road AI also provides the estimated road width in each segment. Flowity Road AI is unique in its ability to deliver repeatable results with very high accuracy in defect area calculation.
Additional Features
Flowity can also help you inventory your road and traffic signs correctly classify and position them for maintenance work and asset management.
In addition, Flowity can accurately position each individual defect, enabling continuous tracking of defect evolution and more advanced post-processing analysis
