A smart way to capture audits through a 3D visualisation system, centralising the information, and create an audit trail. Move away from groups in messaging apps for a reliable tracking mechanism.
In the era of rapid infrastructure development where many kilometres of road get added every day, we face unprecedented challenges in infrastructure management, upkeep and best practices for safety. Today's methods rely on using a combination of audit visits, photographs, messaging apps, and manual follow-ups with individuals. Subsequent audits end up with repetitive follow-ups on identified problems. A digitised audit method combined with 3D annotations enable all stakeholders to review and take actions through a centralised repository that's available as a single source of truth and act as an audit trail.
A typical stretch of 10km road has many stakeholders for asphalting, signage, road markings, road-side tree greenery management, lights, water management, and traffic management. And an audit raises issues to all these groups through emails, instant messaging groups, and telephone calls. This entire exercise is not recorded for access to these groups, and maintenance/repair is an adhoc process. A lot of comments and feedback fall through the cracks and all this while, safety continues to be a challenge.
By using a combination of:
Fabrik creates a unified digital interface for all stakeholders to view all points of interest in a single location and monitor on-ground progress everyday. This replaces the siloed instant messaging groups where people spend most of their time scrolling to find the right photograph or message snippet.
Create a pipeline from taking 360 photographs to annotating on the images with comments along a small stretch of road. This requires a field team equipped with a few 360 cameras driving through key areas capturing photospheres (360 photographs) to create a starting point for the audit. Experts in-turn annotate and comment on all the gaps or violations in each location and tag the corresponding team to take action. Only authorised users can add, view, and respond to comments, and corresponding updates are sent over email.
Creating a unified dashboard for single source of truth for stakeholders at all levels. Combine 360 photospheres with digital elevation models (DEMs) to overlay road quality information at different segments of the highway on a unified dashboard.
Road safety and associated safety audits are critical to reduce and fatalities on Indian roads. The first step is to create a standardised system leveraging future-ready technologies that brings various roadway authorities onto a single platform for exchanging useful information and know-how. Fabrik's digital twins makes this foundation for road safety a reality.
