QuirkData

Our approach

• Secure by default. Data stays within your jurisdiction—encrypted in transit & at rest, never sold or shared.
• Edge‑fleet capture. Plug‑and‑play cameras ride on utility vehicles (e.g. garbage trucks) and record raw video & GPS—no onboard compute required.
• Decision‑ready delivery. A web dashboard (and 4G‑friendly view) surfaces clusters, severity, and repair priorities as soon as vehicles return to base.

Product spotlight: Hazard Map β

The mission

Deliver a near‑real‑time, street‑level view of road safety so that cities can act before damage claims arrive.

The problem

Roads deteriorate silently and the first reliable alert often comes as an insurance bill from a motorist. Traditional pavement surveys are manual, costly, and months apart, leaving a blind‑spot where millions of dollars of avoidable wear accumulate.

What Hazard Map delivers

• Utility‑vehicle vision. We retrofit garbage trucks and other ubiquitous fleets with low‑cost, AI‑ready cameras that continuously scan every lane of your network.
• Edge‑to‑cloud processing. On‑board models flag potholes, cracks, and debris instantly; encrypted frames stream back for audit & retraining—no public release unless you choose to publish.
• Actionable dashboards. Fresh hazard layers land in your asset‑management system within minutes, prioritised by severity and budget impact.
• Secure, documented API. Integrate insights directly into your existing work‑order or GIS platforms with a few lines of code.

Potential savings

Based on national averages, addressing a pothole within two weeks of formation costs up to 8× less than paying out damage claims and performing emergency repairs later. Hazard Map is designed to give you that critical early window.
