City infrastructure management is like trying to put out multiple fires with a single bucket of water. City councils receive numerous maintenance requests for cracked pavements, broken street signs, and faded pavement markings daily. Handling such requests using manual systems is resource-intensive, budget-breaking, and puts a strain on city officials.
But what if you could predict exactly where your city needs maintenance before citizens even notice a problem?
That is the power of Citylogix.
Brought to you by Construction Materials Services (CMS), Citylogix is a comprehensive software platform that gives municipalities total control over their infrastructure. By combining advanced data collection with predictive analytics, this platform helps city officials detect problems early, allocate resources effectively, and streamline maintenance schedules.
Read on to discover how Citylogix is transforming local infrastructure management and how your community can benefit from this cutting-edge technology.
Introducing Citylogix
Citylogix, previously named StreetScan, offers a cutting-edge solution for monitoring and managing civic infrastructure. Unlike conventional inspection methods that can take several months, the system employs sophisticated technology to efficiently evaluate the condition of the entire transportation system within a city.
CMS partners with Citylogix to provide a complete asset management package specifically designed for local governments. Through this partnership, local governments can obtain precise information about their roads, sidewalks, and other traffic assets. The guesswork is completely eliminated, and informed decisions are ensured.
The Three-Step Process: From Data to Decision
Gathering data is only helpful if you can easily understand and apply it. The CMS and Citylogix approach simplifies this journey through a highly structured, three-step process.
Data Collection: Non-intrusive Vehicle-Mounted Imaging
The first phase consists of acquiring an accurate image of the current infrastructure. Citylogix makes use of imaging equipment fitted onto cars that contain sensitive sensors and cameras.
The vehicles pass through the city at normal speeds. Scanning the surroundings for information is continuously done by the equipment as the vehicle moves. Since the vehicles obey traffic regulations and laws, and all of the equipment is mounted to the vehicle, the process is completely non-disruptive.
Data Processing: Advanced Algorithms and Prioritization
Once the vehicles collect the raw data, the system will process all of the information to output comprehensible information. This is where artificial intelligence steps in. The platform feeds the collected imagery and sensor data into advanced algorithms.
Artificial intelligence technologies measure the severity of surface conditions, such as potholes, cracks, and unevenness in sidewalks. Then, the system provides an objective assessment of the infrastructure conditions. As a result, the software can pinpoint specific streets and sidewalks that require urgent action based on the identified problems.
GIS Analytics: Using Streetlogix for Visualization and Management
Data becomes truly powerful when you can visualize it. The last phase involves combining all the processed data into the Streetlogix artificial intelligence-driven GIS software.
Streetlogix features an intuitive interface that allows city planners to see their infrastructure network on a color-coded map. They can select any particular street segment to get its rating, as well as review the photos taken from that particular segment and learn why the software designated the level of severity.
Key Benefits: Optimizing Budgets and Actionable Improvement Plans
One of the major benefits of implementing Citylogix lies in stretching municipal budgets further. Knowing which roads require a mere seal coating and which need to undergo total reconstruction is the key to not wasting funds on improper road repairs.
Key advantages of this system include:
- Targeted Spending: Allocate only the required amount of money for necessary repairs or changes, reducing the impact of under-funding.
- Objective Reporting: Utilize objective AI-generated data to support your budget requests at city council meetings and with stakeholders.
- Streamlined Workflows: Generate actionable, multi-year improvement plans with just a few clicks.
- Comprehensive Tracking: Manage pavement, sidewalks, and traffic assets all within a single, unified platform.
Paving the Way for Smarter Cities
City infrastructure maintenance does not need to rely on guesswork. With the use of imaging technologies and artificial intelligence GIS systems, cities can turn complicated repair orders into a streamlined, economical project plan.
Thanks to CMS and Citylogix, municipalities are now capable of ensuring that their transport infrastructure stays safe and efficient. Are you looking to upgrade your municipality’s transport infrastructure? Then get in touch with the CMS team to schedule a live demo of Citylogix’s capabilities!
