With the help of ROAN units, the city of Bagcilar regularly scans their roads, generating data continually on where is damaged, when and what the priority of that damage is. ROAN being an IoT road damage analyser automatically sends information daily to the cloud, this data is then used to provide dispatch maintenance teams with daily tasks. Closing every pothole as they are found. This of course results in decrease of complaints and a much lower public works budget on the following years due to very few potholes emerging after the previous ones are dealt with.

Digital Parking Management: ParkingSpotter
