7 Ways The Lynxfield LX4 AI Camera Is Revolutionizing Road Maintenance
In the realm of road maintenance, efficiency and precision are paramount— that’s why we created the Lynxfield LX4.
The Lynxfield LX4 is a cutting-edge solution designed to revolutionize road patrol operations. Equipped with an advanced AI camera, the LX4 identifies road deficiencies and streamlines the entire maintenance workflow, ensuring safer and well-maintained roads for all.
AI-Powered Road Deficiency Detection
The LX4’s integrated AI camera is engineered to autonomously detect various road issues, including potholes, faded line markings, and surface cracks. It continuously monitors road conditions and provides real-time data, enabling maintenance teams to address problems promptly.
For instance, upon identifying a pothole, the system records its precise location and dimensions, facilitating immediate repairs and preventing potential vehicular damage.
Signage Reflectivity Assessment
Beyond surface imperfections, the LX4 excels in evaluating road signage.
Over time, signs can lose reflectivity, diminishing visibility and posing safety risks. The LX4’s AI system assesses the reflectivity levels of signs, alerting authorities when replacements are necessary.
This proactive approach ensures that all signage remains clear and effective, enhancing driver awareness and safety.
Comprehensive Wildlife Incident Reporting
We know all too well that encounters with wildlife on roadways can lead to accidents and disrupt traffic flow. The LX4 addresses this by detecting and recording instances of deceased animals on the road.
By promptly generating reports and work orders for removal, the system helps maintain road cleanliness and reduces hazards, ensuring uninterrupted and safe travel for motorists.
Seamless Work Order Automation
One of the standout features of the LX4 is its ability to automatically generate work orders upon detecting issues. This automation eliminates the lag between problem identification and resolution. For example, if the AI camera spots a damaged guardrail, it immediately creates a detailed work order, complete with location data and required materials, expediting the repair process and enhancing road safety.
Durable and Versatile Design
The LX4 is crafted from lightweight, biodegradable carbon fibre, offering superior strength to traditional steel and significantly lighter. This design ensures resilience in extreme temperatures and adverse weather conditions, guaranteeing longevity and consistent performance. Moreover, its versatile connectivity allows it to interface seamlessly with various spreaders and sensor types, adapting to diverse operational needs.
Enhanced Operational Features
To further support road patrol teams, the LX4 offers live webcam feeds without incurring additional data costs, providing real-time visuals of road conditions.
Users can choose between configurations with or without a high-resolution, adjustable brightness screen. The screen facilitates functions such as Hours of Service (HOS) logging, Driver Vehicle Inspection Reports (DVIR), and route optimization for plowing and spreading activities. Additionally, the system ensures continuous operation, with online and offline capabilities and automatic data uploads, maintaining seamless and efficient workflows.
Commitment to Environmental Responsibility
As one of the few Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) devices featuring a fully biodegradable case, the LX4 reflects Lynxfield’s dedication to environmental sustainability. Proudly manufactured in Canada, each unit adheres to and surpasses industry-leading environmental standards, aligning with the growing emphasis on eco-friendly municipal operations.
Incorporating the Lynxfield LX4 into your fleet is more than just an upgrade—it’s a game-changer for time and cost efficiency in municipal road maintenance.
By automating road deficiency detection, signage assessments, and work order creation, the LX4 significantly reduces the manual labour required for inspections and reporting. This speeds up response times and minimizes costly emergency repairs by addressing issues proactively.
With its ability to optimize routes for plowing and spreading, reduce unnecessary fuel consumption, and streamline operations with real-time data uploads, municipalities can allocate resources more effectively and cut operational costs. The LX4 is an investment in smarter, more cost-effective road maintenance, ensuring long-term savings while enhancing public safety and infrastructure longevity.
