AI-based transportation insight firm Blyncsy has achieved the Google Cloud Ready – Sustainability designation in the Google Cloud Partner Advantage Program, with the designation proving Blyncsy’s success in building and producing solutions and tools on Google Cloud to help customers achieve their sustainability goals.
The designation was awarded based on Blyncsy’s AI-powered road maintenance and asset inventory technology, which is used by state Department of Transportation (DOT) agencies across the US to conduct automated roadway inspections using crowdsourced dash camera imagery combined with AI analytics.
Insights provided by Blyncsy’s technology can supplant the need for state DOT operations and maintenance departments to conduct manual inspections of roadway conditions, which, according to the firm, can help remove tens of thousands of pounds of carbon emissions from the air annually for each vehicle removed from these costly activities.
News of the Google Cloud Ready – Sustainability designation follows an announcement last week that Blyncsy has published a comprehensive public map of all interstate highways in the continental US showing key roadway assets such as guardrails, speed limit signs, and work zones to support roadway safety and maintenance conditions.
Meanwhile, the new solutions of the Google Cloud Ready – Sustainability partner program will help customers achieve meaningful climate objectives for their businesses. Partners with this designation deliver solutions that reduce carbon emissions, increase the sustainability of value chains, help organizations process ESG, or help them identify climate risk for increased resilience.
Google Cloud Ready – Sustainability will provide Blyncsy’s customers with a facilitated journey to discover and use proven partner solutions, powered by Google Cloud, in their sustainability business transformations.
“Artificial intelligence is playing an important role in building a more sustainable world,” said Mark Pittman, Blyncsy CEO and Bentley’s director of transportation AI. “Our approach leverages this new technology to extend the useful life of our assets, reducing their carbon impact on the world and their financial impact on our public agencies’ budgets.”
