Chicago, Illinois — CompassCom today introduced CompassVision™, a fleet management application that uses Nexar’s AI-powered vision and perception technology via connected dash cams to detect and capture road conditions, incidents, and events in real time. The geolocated video and imagery combined with Esri-based mapping technology gives fleet managers real-time visibility into a common operational picture to support decision making across all fleet activities.
CompassCom and Nexar will demonstrate CompassVision capabilities at the American Public Works Association PWX 2025 conference in Chicago, Aug. 17–20, in the CompassCom booth #3063.
CompassVision helps snowplows, solid waste trucks, and other municipal vehicles improve safety, efficiency, and accountability. The application includes AI technology that automatically detects road conditions and driver behavior. The system is configured to meet NIST, FIPPS, and IA-compliant cybersecurity requirements, and performance meets industry standards related to filtering information and blurring license plates and faces. Based on the dash cam video, AI automatically updates GIS layers to support smarter maintenance and infrastructure management.
AI automatically records collisions and motion events and notifies supervisors for rapid incident response. Video playback can be used to validate crew activity and citizen service requests, as well as guide training, reduce liability, and encourage responsible driving.
“Real-time imagery and video provide full situational awareness of operations and incidents,” said Brant Howard, Founder and CEO of CompassCom. “By using AI in vehicle cameras at the edge, we automate the transmission of road condition data to support and enhance snow fighting activities.”
With one system for GPS and video, CompassVision offers a simpler workflow and fewer logins for more efficient AVL fleet management and mobile workforce automation. In the CompassWorks Viewer, maps and data come together in an easy-to-use visual format.
