NVIDIA Brings Physical AI technologies like Blyncsy to European Cities With New Blueprint for Smart City AI
Urban populations are expected to double by 2050, which means around 2.5 billion people could be added to urban areas by the middle of the century, driving the need for more sustainable urban planning and public services. Cities across the globe are turning to digital twins and AI agents for urban planning scenario analysis and data-driven operational decisions. Building […]
A True Game Changer: Examining the Upcoming Google and Blyncsy Partnership
For most government agencies, collecting accurate and comprehensive road condition data is expensive and difficult to scale. The Google and Blyncsy partnership is looking to change that. The partnership enables Blynscy users to leverage the crowdsourced dashcam footage and receive full access to the global Google Street View database. This fully functioning system has high-quality […]
Time to Get Digital: Update the Highway Performance Monitoring System and Create a National Digital Infrastructure Map
Federal, state, and local transportation agencies frequently discuss the urgent need to modernize and update our nation’s infrastructure. Less discussed is the need to extend that need beyond physical roadways. However, the Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS) example shows that digital infrastructure may require the most attention. Originally developed by the U.S. Department of Transportation […]
Finding Better Ways to Increase Roadway Safety and Innovation
Digital transformation has entered even slow-moving industries. Technology has become increasingly important in driving innovation and everyday operations for transportation and road management companies. One recent research article called this movement ‘The Digital Revolution of the Transportation Industry‘. Everyone has a role to play within that general movement. Transportation businesses like auto companies and producers […]
How a National Deregulatory Environment Could Accelerate Roadway Safety and Innovation
Across the United States, transportation agencies are struggling with limited time and budget. These limitations tend to make federal agencies’ reporting requirements more difficult. The reporting requirements may contribute to resource limitations in other areas. Consider the Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS) as an example. It was initially developed in 1978 as a continuing database. […]
The Best Way to Support Autonomous Vehicles: The Paint on the Ground
The use of autonomous or self-driving vehicles is rising rapidly across the globe. Experts estimate that the end of this year will see around 26,000 fully self-driving vehicles on roads worldwide, rising to more than 125,000 by 2030. Expand the definition to at least some level of automation. Up to 60% of cars on the […]

Tired of Pothole Complaints? Consider the AI Answer
Transportation agencies and drivers across the United States share a common enemy: potholes on roads that can be annoying and dangerous. Damage from potholes costs U.S. drivers billions yearly. These costs tend to be passed down to the agencies in charge of the roads in question. For transportation departments, road conditions are among the most […]
AI Can Analyze Your Roads. How You Collect the Data is Up to You
As Advanced Driver Assistant Systems (ADAS) become increasingly popular in newly manufactured vehicles, departments of transportation are increasingly looking to understand how their roadways have to adjust. Visibility for camera systems looking to assist with lane keeping, collision avoidance, and other features is crucial to ensure that these ADAS systems effectively lead to safer driving. […]
