From the announcement

"…and Arterial (a Smart Futures Lab cohort graduate) will partner with both the City of Lakewood and the City of Loveland to bring automated infrastructure inspection to city streets."

"Arterial helps cities catch infrastructure problems like potholes, ADA violations, and faded crosswalks before they become dangerous. Arterial can turn any city vehicle or bike into a rolling inspector, supplying cities with real, up-to-date data without additional operational burden."

"Arterial will also partner with the City of Loveland to bring the same rolling infrastructure inspection capability to Loveland's streets and pathways, providing actionable, continuously updated data to support proactive maintenance and accessibility improvements."

The full announcement, including the other two winning solutions (Cembla and Go Vocal) and details on the C² Challenge process, is on the Colorado Smart Cities Alliance site. Read the full piece on coloradosmart.city.
