Every bus already surveys the road.

VAZHIGO turns city buses into a moving road-monitoring network. Cameras and edge AI find potholes and hazards, GPS pins each one on a map, and both repair teams and commuters are told.

    Road inspection shouldn't need a vehicle of its own.

    Manual inspection takes dedicated survey effort and time, so damage is often found late.

    Buses already cover a city's roads every day. VAZHIGO gives each one a camera, a GPS unit and an edge AI device, so an ordinary bus journey doubles as a road survey.

    Trivandrum and cities across Kerala see thousands of bus journeys every day. VAZHIGO turns that existing fleet into a city-wide road-intelligence network — one that maps every pothole and surface defect without any additional survey vehicle or dedicated fieldwork.

    From a normal bus trip to a repair job in six steps.

    1. 1

      Sense

      Camera and GPS capture the road and where it is.

    2. 2

      Detect

      Edge AI on the bus spots potholes and other hazards.

    3. 3

      Geotag

      Location, time and severity are recorded.

    4. 4

      Deduplicate

      Repeat sightings from many buses merge into one incident.

    5. 5

      Act

      Authorities prioritise repairs and track their status.

    6. 6

      Warn

      Commuters get early alerts about hazards ahead.

    One camera, seven kinds of road damage.

    Every detection carries a location, a time and a severity rating.

    • Potholes
    • Road cracks and damaged surfaces
    • Faded lane markings
    • Damaged signs
    • Waterlogging
    • Debris
    • Unsafe road edges

    Authorities get a map. Commuters get a warning.

    Common questions.

    Answers about VAZHIGO, AI road monitoring and how the technology works.

    What is VAZHIGO?

    VAZHIGO is an AI-powered urban road intelligence platform. It equips city buses with cameras, GPS units and edge AI devices so every regular bus journey also functions as a road survey. Detected hazards are geotagged, severity-rated and reported to road authorities in real time.

    How does VAZHIGO detect potholes?

    A camera on the bus films the road ahead continuously. An edge AI device analyses the footage in real time, identifying potholes and surface defects as they appear. The GPS logs each detection's precise location, time and severity. When multiple buses report the same location, the data is deduplicated into one verified incident.

    What road hazards can VAZHIGO detect?

    VAZHIGO detects seven categories: potholes, road cracks and damaged surfaces, faded lane markings, damaged road signs, waterlogging, road debris and unsafe road edges. Every detection includes a location, a timestamp and a severity rating.

    How does bus-based road monitoring work?

    Each bus carries a camera, a GPS unit and an edge AI device. As the bus follows its normal route, the system scans the road in real time. Detections are processed on board, then sent to a cloud platform where data from multiple buses is merged. Road authorities see a live dashboard; commuters get in-app alerts.

    Who can use VAZHIGO?

    VAZHIGO serves two groups. Road authorities — municipal corporations, public works departments and transport agencies — use the dashboard to prioritise and track repairs. Commuters use the companion app to receive real-time hazard alerts along their route.

    Where is VAZHIGO based?

    VAZHIGO is based in Trivandrum (Thiruvananthapuram), Kerala, India. The technology is designed to scale across urban centres throughout India and beyond.

    How does geotagged road data help authorities?

    Precise geotags let repair crews go directly to each defect without a separate field survey. Severity ratings help prioritise urgent repairs. Historical data supports long-term maintenance planning and infrastructure budgeting.

    How is VAZHIGO different from manual road inspection?

    Manual inspection needs dedicated vehicles, staff and scheduling, so damage is often discovered weeks after it appears. VAZHIGO uses buses that are already running every day, turning routine journeys into continuous surveys. Coverage is higher, detection is faster and cost per kilometre surveyed is substantially lower.
