Success Story: OWN

Cyvl.ai, in collaboration with OWN, Inc’s Destin, Florida office embarked on an innovative pilot project aimed at addressing infrastructure management for the WaterColor Resort, a 500-acre community in Walton County, Florida.

The project covered a span of 15 centerline miles, utilizing Cyvl’s advanced technologies and OWN’s expertise to detect and document a comprehensive range of above-ground assets and roadway data.

Challenge

The WaterColor Community faced significant challenges in regularly managing and maintaining its diverse infrastructure assets effectively.

The community required a modern solution to accurately assess and manage various assets including benches, bus shelters, catch basins, curbs, fire hydrants, sidewalks, trees, utility poles, and water valves, alongside MUTCD signs, distress details, and roadway striping and markings.

Solution

In response, Cyvl.ai and OWN utilized cutting-edge sensor technology and data analytics to capture high-resolution images and LiDAR data to generate precise data reports on the city’s infrastructure assets and pavement conditions. This technology provided a detailed and accurate inventory, crucial for the city’s planning and maintenance strategies.

Implementation

The project consisted of mounting Cyvl’s LiDAR sensor stack on OWN’s vehicle and driving the designated roadways of  WaterColor’s coastal community.

This setup allowed for the efficient gathering of essential data, which was then processed and analyzed to produce detailed reports on the condition and location of each asset. Additionally, roadways were scored on a 1-100 scale with over 22,000 individual distress details found over 15 miles of roadway data.

Results

1. Detailed Asset Inventory:

  • The technology successfully identified and cataloged all targeted assets, providing the WaterColor Community with an up-to-date and comprehensive infrastructure database.

2. Improved Maintenance and Planning:

  • The detailed insights obtained from the project enabled more effective and informed planning, optimizing maintenance schedules and resource allocation.

3. Pioneering Infrastructure Management Techniques:

  • With the comprehensive data and tools at its disposal, the WaterColor Community can now efficiently allocate resources, schedule maintenance, and ensure sustained infrastructure health.

Success Story: City of Kansas City, KS

Cyvl, in collaboration with civil engineering firm Benesch, undertook a pilot project to scan a 1-mile roadway segment in Kansas City, Kansas, as part of a broader initiative covering various cities in Kansas and Missouri.

Challenge

The challenge was finding a suitable way to collect comprehensive data on city infrastructure in a way that was efficient, accurate, and detailed.

This is essential for Benesch to effectively assist its municipal clients in managing their infrastructure assets.

Solution

The project utilized advanced tools, mobile LiDAR data, 2D and 360-degree imagery to extract pavement scoring systems ranging from 0 to 100 and catalog and geolocate ROW assets.

This technology-centric approach is able to provide an in-depth analysis of the city’s infrastructure, roadways, and roadside assets.

Implementation

Benesch equipped its vehicle with Cyvl’s mobile LiDAR sensor to capture data of the city’s infrastructure. The focus was on collecting information on various assets such as traffic signals, curb cuts, traffic cameras, manhole covers, cross signals, street lights, fire hydrants, catch basins, telephone poles, and MUTCD signs.

Results

1) Comprehensive Asset Collection:

  • The project successfully identified and cataloged 281 infrastructure assets within 1 mile of roadway, as well as gave high-level details of the pavement conditions.

2) Efficiency and Detail in Data:

  • Advanced imaging and scoring technology allowed for a rapid yet thorough assessment and inventorying of infrastructure and roadside assets.

3) Quality Assessment and Quality Check Results:

  • A thorough quality check of the data obtained, including the pavement conditions, confirmed the high standard of information gathered.

Cyvl and Benesch’s pilot project in Kansas City, Kansas serves as a testament to the effectiveness of modern technology in roadway and infrastructure assessment, setting a new standard for municipalities.
