ST. PAUL, Minn., Nov. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- 3M and
Mobileye, an Intel Company, have joined forces to advance road
safety by bringing crowdsourced infrastructure asset data to
transportation agencies through the 3M™ Roadway Safety Asset
Manager platform, and to further their common commitments to reduce
traffic fatalities and severe injuries, starting with projects in
the United States.
The 3M™ Roadway Safety Asset Manager puts roadway safety assets
in one, easy to navigate cloud-based solution and helps
transportation authorities manage their road assets such as signs,
pavement markings, barriers, guardrails and more. When used by
maintenance teams and by crew managers, the 3M™ Roadway Safety
Asset Manager allows for scheduling maintenance or replacement
tasks, and it offers reporting and querying functionality to run
analysis on digitized asset data. This provides a foundation
for 3M to continue building out
safety analytic tools that enhance data integration, predictability
and machine vision analysis.
To meet growing demand for data-driven asset management
services, transportation authorities need appropriate and
high-quality data collection systems, helping them to allocate
their resources and prioritize projects in a timely and
cost-effective manner. The collaboration between 3M and Mobileye will enable transportation
authorities to modernize their asset management tools with
frequently updated asset data, helping to meet their operational
and safety goals.
"Until we achieve zero traffic deaths and serious injuries, we
will relentlessly innovate products, systems and services that help
bring families home safely, whether that be organically or through
partnerships" said Dr. Dan Chen,
President, 3M Transportation Safety
Division. "We are elated to establish this cooperation with
Mobileye; it brings two leaders in their respective fields together
to help advance road safety and bring efficiency in managing
roadway assets."
Mobileye's innovative crowdsourced mapping technology harnesses
cutting-edge artificial intelligence and computer-vision
technologies to help automate the mapping, monitoring, and
maintenance prioritization of roadway assets. Mobileye's technology
will be leveraged with the 3M™ Roadway Safety Asset Manager, a
cloud-based application for tracking the condition and maintenance
of roadway assets. Tracking roadway assets, such as signs, pavement
markings, and guardrails, is critical for roadway safety, as it
enables data-driven project prioritization for asset
maintenance.
"Making data-driven decisions is essential in asset management,
and ultimately, a crucial element in improving roadway safety,"
said Uri Tamir, General Manager,
Mobileye North America. "3M's innovative asset management solution
puts the power of advanced data technology in the hands of
transportation infrastructure authorities in their pursuit of safer
roads."
