SapiroTech · Pothole Survey Vehicle
Every pothole. Measured. Mapped. Owned.
A car-mounted survey unit finds potholes, measures their depth in 3D, and ties each one to the contractor still liable for the road.
How it works
How it works
01 · Survey
Drive the route. The unit does the looking.
Three cameras cover the carriageway and both kerbs while the on-board AI flags potholes live. Each pothole is tracked across frames, so it counts once — not once per frame.
The survey unit
One calibrated kit.
Fits a normal car.
Every survey car carries the same sensors in the same places, so every survey is comparable. Tap a part to see what it does.

Front depth camera
Measures the depth, width and area of each pothole in 3D.

The film
Under ninety seconds, start to finish.
From the survey car to the repair list — the whole system in one short film, with narration and captions.
In the car
The operator stays in charge.
Signed in, on route
Each operator signs in with a personal code and sees the route they were assigned.
A person decides
The AI flags; the operator confirms or rejects each detection while it is fresh.
Evidence at source
Every confirmed pothole is saved with its photo, location, time and jolt reading.
In the office
Plan, review, publish.
The admin platform turns a day of driving into approved, evidence-backed records — and keeps a record of who did what.
Route planning
Pick A and B; the route is built from registered road segments.
Operator codes
Personal sign-in codes; a route goes to one unit and one operator.
Per-segment approval
Approve or send back each road segment. Only approved data goes public.
Evidence with metadata
Photo with GPS, time and accelerometer reading embedded, plus a visible stamp.
Append-only audit log
Every assignment, approval and change is recorded and cannot be edited.
Dashboard heat map
See where potholes concentrate to prioritise review and plan repairs.
Road condition map
Every surveyed road, in public view.
Potholes found by the survey vehicle and approved by the city appear here, with each road coloured by its condition. Updated after every survey.

Proof, not complaints.
Every pothole has a photo, a location and a measured depth.
The right party repairs it.
Repairs go to the contractor who is still liable for the road.
Repairs are checked.
Roads get re-surveyed, so a repair is verified, not assumed.
FAQ
Questions we get asked.
Daylight is the design point. Night surveys need extra lighting on the vehicle. In rain, standing water hides a pothole’s true depth, so water-filled potholes are flagged “water suspected” and are never reported as shallow.
