Departments of Transportation in the United States—and comparable agencies internationally—design, build, and maintain critical infrastructure including highways, airports, and ports. As these responsibilities grow in complexity, digital transformation becomes essential. This modernization heavily depends on Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and real-time location intelligence.
Real-Time Fleet Visibility Monitor live locations of snowplows, sweepers, stripers, and field crews on a single, unified map.
Automated Workflows Dynamically streamline routing, track deicing materials, and assign crews in response to changing weather conditions.
AI-Powered Road Condition Analysis Use real-time and archived still photo and video camera data—analyzed by AI—to determine road conditions using both visual and data inputs.
Asset Performance Monitoring Track engine diagnostics and equipment usage to support preventive maintenance and reduce downtime.
Deicing Spreader Integration Monitor material type, volume, and coverage zones in real time—compatible with multiple spreader vendors.
Driver Safety Insights Utilize driver behavior data and system alerts to enhance safety, accountability, and training.
Service Verification & Complaint Resolution Use location-stamped data to confirm completed work and resolve disputes.
“Our society cannot advance if we do not improve the way we move goods and services around the globe. Real-time GIS offers unique opportunities for advancements in our transportation networks now and tomorrow.” — Brant Howard, Founder and CEO, CompassCom
