Our Solution

Our application is based on the Android platform ensuring usability across majority of handsets available.

Our target users include not limited to civil works engineers, architects, consultants and technology enthusiasts.

Based on car acceleration data, we estimate the suspension of the tire ( Longitudinal Profile) by running the Smartphone Axle. This makes it possible to obtain more accurate results even at different speeds and using different vehicle models.

Users can calculate “flatness” which is one of Japan’s road management indicators, as well as “IRI (International Roughness Index)” which is a global road management index. Road  concavity and convexity can be determined too.

This facilitates data storage and retrieval enabling routine inspection of road infrastructure.

We have a rich experience gaining accumulating road improvement data covering 3,432,780 kilometers.
