Potholes and roadway damage present real safety concerns, especially along busy routes. Add Florida’s unpredictable weather, and maintaining every mile of pavement becomes an ongoing challenge. To address this, Altamonte Springs partnered with Robocist, a technology company reshaping infrastructure management, to rethink how road repairs are identified, prioritized and performed.
Robocist is revolutionizing transportation infrastructure with Road Triage, an AI-powered system that changes how cities detect and address roadway damage. Using computer vision, machine learning and artificial intelligence, the system identifies, locates and evaluates road conditions in real time. Detecting cracks, potholes and surface wear with far greater accuracy and speed than traditional inspection methods.
Early detection allows maintenance teams to schedule repairs before small issues escalate into costly hazards. The result is safer roads, fewer service requests and faster response times, without relying solely on residents to report damage.
The benefits extend well beyond safety. Traditional inspection programs require significant investment in staff, equipment and time, costing the City hundreds of thousands of dollars each year. Road Triage delivers the same function faster, at a fraction of the cost, helping stretch taxpayer dollars further and make budgets more efficient.
Real-Time Data, Real Results
The system is being deployed across all 80 miles of roadways in Altamonte Springs, delivering real-time data that informs maintenance priorities and resource allocation. This capability is especially valuable during hurricane season, when knowing the condition of roads before and after storms can dramatically improve response efforts. With fast, data-rich reporting, Road Triage enables the City to respond more quickly, repair storm damage more efficiently and support emergency aid requests with documented evidence.
Partnering for Progress
Robocist’s Road Triage is redefining how local government approaches road maintenance. The partnership illustrates how strategic investments in technology can improve public services, reduce long-term costs and enhance community safety.
By applying AI in practical, high-impact ways, Altamonte Springs is positioning itself as a leader in smart city innovation. As Road Triage evolves, data insights will continue to shape infrastructure decisions, optimize budgets and strengthen emergency response across the community.
