Israeli dash cam manufacturer Nexar, whose products enable crowd-sourced vision, and Blyncsy, a Salt Lake City-based movement and data intelligence company, are partnering to collect data on America's 4.1 million miles of public highway and provide actionable insights to the state and local governments that maintain them.

National studies show that effective marking of roadways saves lives. Over 50% of fatalities on America's roadways result when motorists veer out of their travel lanes, according to federal data. Most road markings are repainted only once a year, but with harsh weather conditions and degrading asphalt, markings often need to be repainted or maintained more often. The challenge for transportation departs is knowing how their roads are performing on a daily basis and responding proactively before problems develop.

Blyncsy's Payver technology uses the billions of real-time images and detections collected from Nexar dash cams currently in use on America's roads and applies Blyncsy's proprietary machine learning models to understand the changing road conditions and visibility of pavement markings. The technology can also be used to map locations of stop signs, traffic lights, lane lines, and curbs, all valuable data that can also be used to train autonomous vehicles.

Nexar co-founder and CEO Eran Shir said his company was "proud to partner with Blyncsy using our combined AI smart technology to improve our roads."

"With many cities investing in expensive lidar technologies to monitor their streets and roads, or human surveyors, the crowdsourced vision data from Nexar 'sees' the world at eye-level just like we do and provides superior insights at a fraction of the cost. Pavement monitoring is just one example of Nexar's value while other cities and businesses are using the data to monitor and understand curb use, real estate trends, pedestrian traffic, construction, and more. Nexar creates a platform that other companies can run their AI on and in some cases applies its own AI, such as work zone detections in the Las Vegas Valley," Shir explained.

Mark Pittman, founder and CEO of Blyncsy, said, "We know that machine learning is only as strong as the data it depends on. With this partnership, we're giving government agencies a magnifying glass for their infrastructure, plus the power of continuous pattern analysis and predictive analytics. We're excited to see how this combination can impact public servants, communities, and people everywhere."
