Meet irisGO™, a top 5 solution for sustainable roads in emerging markets

We’re excited to introduce irisGO™ as one of the top 5 solutions submitted to our Call for Submissions for technology solutions to realise sustainable roads in emerging markets.

Developed by Canadian company IRIS, irisGO™ makes it faster, more affordable, and more sustainable to inspect and maintain road infrastructure such as pavements and other assets. It does this with InfraTech that uses AI and machine vision to automatically detect and report road deficiencies in real time.

This enables cities to monitor road infrastructure at a substantially lower cost than standard processes and reduce the reliance on CO2-fueled vehicles.

Other benefits of irisGO™ include: 

• Increased detection of road deficiencies
• Improved safety and compliance, with the patrol of a greater number of roadways in less time
• Faster response times, with an interface that connects the software directly to the user's work order system
• Better availability of data to help address claims, measure performance, and support capital planning
• Improved employee engagement.

IRIS currently has road and tunnel maintenance projects in five continents, including in emerging markets in Africa and the Caribbean. To learn more about the solution and view a video of how it works, visit the case study below.
