CartoVid for Disaster Recovery
CartoVid plays a crucial role in storm response by providing real-time situational awareness and geospatial data visualization. During hurricane events, utilities leverage CartoVid to assess damage remotely, using aerial imagery and AI-driven analysis to identify issues such as broken cross arms and cracked insulators. Automated workflows push storm-related data into the platform, enabling a seamless integration with existing response efforts. While current GIS exports require manual processing, ongoing development aims to enhance bilateral integration, streamlining data exchange. As utilities refine their emergency response strategies, CartoVid continues to evolve, ensuring faster, more efficient decision-making when it matters most.

How can CartoVid drive Project management?
- Enables secure access – CartoVid allows project leaders to grant access to individuals or groups, inside and outside an organization, to integrated tools and functions for safe and secure data access, sharing, and collaboration.
- Allows comments and questions on specific data points – Using CartoVid, authorized individuals can directly ask questions, make comments and point out concerns to an individual, a select group, or all project participants.
- Permits pause and zoom observations – Pause and zoom video to inspect objects. Make notations directly on the video. Highlight spatially specific observations, and create actionable records that can be incorporate into GIS mappings.
- Share and copy with internally and externally – Project owners can share video content with partners while retaining ownership of all the content. They can also provide others with their own copies of the video.
- Capture and retain your data history – CartoVid captures and retains a media history of each project, complete with participant comments, observations, questions, and markups. This audit trail provides a visual record of an asset and the surrounding area at any phase of a project or over the life of an asset to enable comparative analyses. This record can be especially valuable for compliance audits.
- Streamline object and condition detection – Object Detection is an extension of CartoVid that detects and delivers actionable insights. Users can define, identify, and locate critical points and specific objects to speed planning and resolution.
