iRAP is proud to announce that Transoft Solutions, Inc., a global leader in transportation engineering software, has officially been accredited as an AiRAP data provider! This milestone, making Transoft the first North American company to achieve this status, represents a significant leap forward in our vision to eliminate high-risk roads globally through the accelerated and intelligent capture of safety data.

The accreditation of Transoft’s inspection system, Transoft AssetMAPPER® Roads, validates its powerful capabilities in meeting the rigorous standards required for automated road attribute data collection. By simplifying and accelerating the data preparation and coding steps essential to the iRAP Star Rating methodology, this partnership lowers the cost of assessment and rapidly streamlines performance monitoring for road safety practitioners worldwide.

AssetMAPPER Roads: The Power of Integrated Data

AssetMAPPER Roads is positioned to revolutionise how data underpins road safety investment. Its core strength lies in its ability to synthesize diverse data sources, moving beyond traditional, time-intensive methods:

• Multi-Source Data Aggregation: AssetMAPPER Roads integrates crucial road attribute data from several sources. This includes leveraging valuable Open data sources, allowing for the necessary rigour of Manual coding by accredited professionals, and—most crucially—employing advanced automation.
• Intelligent Attribute Detection: Utilizing cutting-edge computer vision, the system automatically detects critical road attributes directly from 360-degree imagery. This functionality ensures efficiency, consistency, and scalability in capturing the dozens of road characteristics required for a robust iRAP assessment.

From Assessment to Action: Closing the Safety Loop

The true impact of this accreditation is the ability of AssetMAPPER Roads to seamlessly integrate with and visualize the outcomes of the iRAP Star Rating, facilitating faster, evidence-based decision-making:

• iRAP Star Rating Visualisation: The system is fully equipped to display Star Ratings calculated within ViDA, iRAP’s central assessment software. This immediate visualization capability transforms raw attribute data into clear, actionable safety insights for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Holistic Risk Analysis: AssetMAPPER Roads provides the invaluable ability to present Star Rating results and crash data together. By combining predictive risk (the Star Rating) with historical crash history, practitioners gain a comprehensive view of road performance, ensuring that limited resources are precisely targeted to projects that will save the most lives.

iRAP congratulates Transoft Solutions for its commitment to innovation in the name of global road safety.

“We are honoured to receive AiRAP accreditation for AssetMAPPER Roads, reaffirming Transoft Solutions’ commitment to advancing global road safety through innovation. This recognition highlights the power of automation in transforming how road attributes are assessed, making safety evaluations more efficient, consistent, and scalable,” said Matthieu Levivier, Director of Business Development at Transoft Solutions.

We believe this partnership will significantly advance global capacity to conduct Star Ratings and close the gap between data collection and life-saving interventions.

“The accreditation of Transoft’s AssetMAPPER Roads is a game-changer for the iRAP community. The core principle of AiRAP is to accelerate life-saving data collection, and AssetMAPPER Road’s robust capability to integrate automatically detected attributes with validated iRAP Star Ratings and crash data is exactly the technical innovation we need. This commitment to quality and scalability will be significant to achieve our vision of a world free of high-risk roads,” commented James Bradford, iRAP Technical Director.
