Our Partners Say…
“It’s really great because it helps us package all that information up into a form that the crews can then take. We can target a particular neighborhood or a particular corridor. So, it turned out to be an effective tool for us.”
“We saw an opportunity in improving the road patrol program and pothole patching work program through partnering with technology provider CITYROVER, on the development and use of its AI solution. As a result, our work has been greatly simplified, our roads are better maintained and citizen complaints have greatly dropped.”
”In 2022 we filled 2,500 potholes. This technology is scanning the road ahead of you and its collecting real-time data which then maps-out where all these potholes are and colour codes the priorities. This is just another valuable tool that allows us to get ahead of the game.”
“As the equipment takes time to prepare and deploy into the field, having data including grpahics of the size and depth of problem potholes ahead of time makes the most of the crews’ limited time and supply of material. CITYROVER has become the teams’ primary source when preparing work-plans.”
“It saves us time from searching for them (deficiencies) when they’re already found
for us.”
“CITYROVER has benefited the city by handling our road work and adding a layer of protection to our documentation within our network.”
“CITYROVER assists our operations in automating and reducing the time required to document this issue so the data flows from our existing process in real-time straight into our Cityworks workflow”
“Leveraging technology in this way helps us to be more efficient as well as provides us metrics. You can’t manage what you don’t measure. I am able to report out regularly how much effort we are putting into asphalt road repair when, in the past, we were only able to say that we were simply just out everyday. Being able to show that we are being productive and knowing that we are actively working to increase our level of service has been a win-win for us.”
“With the new technology at CITYROVER we are using that to help us build better maintenance plans to keep track of everything that we have out there because with our industries sometimes we gotta learn to a little more with a little“
“That extra set of eyes going out there and finding all those potholes, damaged signs, shopping carts, piles of trash, illegal dumping on the side of the road its huge, it’s like another two employees working for us.”
“Working with CITYROVER is a fantastic relationship. Right from the start, they’re able to meet our needs, they’re very responsive, the technology is very easy to adapt. It’s extremely organized.”
“I would recommend CITYROVER to any other municipality looking at streamlining their pothole repair processes. It allows their operators and patrollers to keep their eyes on the road while allowing the AI CITYROVER to essentially track all the potholes and repairs in their road network.”
“We’re able to categorize them (potholes) on level of severity and determine where we need to go right away.”
“We knew this AI was really going to mature and take off that is going to help us significantly and it’s not just helping Markham it’s actually helping the entire municipal industry to help do the work more efficiently. There is many different types of cracks and the system will be able to generate report a line longitudinal crack, transfer crack, alligator cracking per segment per area, so this gives us a really indicator and even better is that … you can even go in to see the picture and a picture worth a thousand words.”
“Its ability to take a previously tedious and time-consuming task and turn it into a seamless process is just absolutely astounding.”
”I see potholes every day in the city and there are many that we don’t see because we don’t drive every road every day. The only other way we find out about them is if the public calls them in and lets us know.
So if they don’t call them in and we don’t see them in our normal day-to-day work, then it’s nice to know this camera is picking them up to put them on our list.
I’m surprised by this technology and how accurate it is; It will determine what a pothole and a manhole cover is. It is very little work on our part to distinguish between the pictures – it does a lot of that itself.”
“It’s based on true and verifiable data because we know what a pothole is now and we know where they are and so we can improve our dispatching on the field and our workflow is effective.”
“In regards of the kind of Asset Management Program, City of Kelowna is leveraging the technology (CITYROVER) and the new initiatives of AI to provide the better services and more efficiently in an effective way.”
“That little camera that’s in the window of the vehicle that’s just the tip of the Iceberg of what this thing does, you know you gather the data, and then yes you can get it real quick, ya that’s a pothole, that’s not a pothole… that is so import for the guys in the filed… they know exactly where the potholes are and what they look like.”
”This is just another way the region is using technology to improve the lives of our residents. Not only their day-to-day travels, but getting them home safely.”
“The application allows us to map our entire road network to have an overall picture of the condition of the roadway and target the problematic portions that need to be repaired… With CITYROVER, we gain efficiency and obtain a better overview of the state of the streets.”
“This Unit Takes a lot of stress off of them (scouting staff). It’s like having another pair of eyes on the roadways at all times. Safety being one of our number one concerns. This unit has really helped us achieve that goal“
“We have worked alongside [CITYROVER] to implement their CITYROVER AI app to quickly and thoroughly identify deficiencies and execute timely improvements.“
”It automatically detects potholes and then geolocates them on the city road map. So like that, we were able to see it when going on patrol. It detects road imperfections such as potholes and cracks.
We see more clear adhesion to the road, and it prevents water from entering the repairs.”
“In York Region, we always strive for innovations. York Region Transit has leading edge technology systems installed on buses, such as colision avoidance, driver monitoring to monitor fatigue, and this was just a perfect fit implementing AI solutions and working with CITYROVER.”
“As a leader of innovation, we are directed to seek out innovative practices and the partnership with CITYROVER presented itself, and from this partnership we have experienced an increase in efficiency and accuracy from the real-world images and the route guidance both aiding in the efficacy and accuracy of our maintenance programs.“
“We have been very happy with using CITYROVER. We found it to be a success in assisting us transition to a more proactive approach in pothole management.”
“We have really utilized the Pulse data is kind of an up-to-date Google maps and we have a lot of dead trees right the ash borer that is kind of in our area… being able to go look online kind of verifies… we often use it like an up-to-date Google to decipher things before they get sent to the staff.”
