Groundtruth

Groundtruth is where every detection from your fleet lands. Each defect appears on a map of your road network with the camera frame that found it, its type and severity, and its exact position by chainage.

Your team works through a clear triage queue, every decision is recorded, and confirmed defects flow straight into the asset management system you already use. It runs in the browser, in a separate deployment for each council.

Specification

What the dashboard does

Triage
A queue with real states and an accountable trail
Defects move from detected through under review, confirmed and scheduled, to resolved or rejected. Every status change is attributed, timestamped and reasoned.
Location
Chainage and offset, not a bare coordinate
Every detection is placed on your road centreline as a chainage plus a signed offset, the same system your asset register already runs on.
Deduplication
One pothole, one record
Repeat sightings of the same defect collapse into a single record, and a run of clean passes closes it automatically rather than leaving a stale entry in the queue.
Condition scoring
Point-in-time scores per road segment
Generated automatically from open pavement defects and never edited after the fact. A correction is a new assessment, recorded alongside the one it supersedes.
Fleet health
Seven telemetry metrics per device
CPU, memory, storage, GPS satellites, uptime, dropped frames and temperature, charted per device by hour or day.
Integration
Pushed into the system you already use
Connectors for TechnologyOne, Brightly Confirm, Civica Reflect and Esri ArcGIS, HMAC-signed webhooks with a delivery log, and CSV or GeoJSON exports for the rest.
Access control
One deployment per council
Your data lives in its own database, stored in your own country by default.
