Archway Roadmaster is the UK’s market-leading manufacturer of Spray Injection Patching machines, helping local authorities and contractors repair potholes more safely, efficiently, and cost-effectively. Their innovative Roadmaster machine enables operators to carry out repairs from within the vehicle cab, reducing exposure to live traffic, manual handling, and hazardous roadside conditions.

To further enhance operator safety and vehicle awareness, Archway Roadmaster partnered with ACSS to integrate an AI-powered camera system into the Roadmaster. The solution provides intelligent human detection, improved driver visibility, and seamless integration with Samsara’s Connected Operations platform, giving operators greater confidence when working in busy road maintenance environments.

Road maintenance vehicles operate in challenging working environments where operators need to manage vehicle movements alongside site personnel, equipment, and roadside activities. While the Roadmaster improves operator safety by allowing repairs to be completed from inside the vehicle cab, maintaining clear visibility around the vehicle remains essential.

Archway Roadmaster required a solution that could provide intelligent human detection, real-time driver alerts, and enhanced visibility around the vehicle, helping to address these challenges, Archway Roadmaster partnered with ACSS to integrate an AI-powered camera solution into the Roadmaster. The system was designed to improve operator safety by combining AI human detection, enhanced driver visibility, and high-definition video within a single, integrated solution.

By connecting the system directly with the Samsara Connected Operations platform, ACSS enabled operators to access intelligent safety features and high-quality video through a familiar interface, supporting safer and more efficient road maintenance operations.

While the Roadmaster improves operator safety by allowing repairs to be completed from inside the vehicle cab, maintaining clear visibility around the vehicle remains essential.

Archway Roadmaster required a solution that could provide intelligent human detection, real-time driver alerts, and enhanced visibility around the vehicle, helping to improve safety without disrupting daily operations.

ACSS installed a multi-camera system covering the rear and both sides of the vehicle, providing operators with improved visibility around key blind spots during daily operations.

A dedicated in-cab monitor displays live camera views, helping drivers maintain awareness of their surroundings when manoeuvring, reversing, and operating in areas where site personnel may be working nearby.

When the AI system detects a person within the monitored area, an in-cab alert notifies the driver, allowing them to take appropriate action immediately.

By combining intelligent detection with live camera feeds, the system enhances visibility without interrupting day-to-day operation of the vehicle.

Safety and operational visibility were key priorities for Archway Roadmaster. ACSS developed an enhanced video solution that delivers higher-quality footage directly through the Samsara platform. While traditional MDVR systems typically provide a 720p video output, ACSS engineered a solution capable of delivering 1080p high-definition video quality.

The result is a connected safety solution that combines AI detection, live visibility, and high-quality video within a single fleet management platform.

By combining AI detection, driver visibility technology, and Samsara integration, ACSS helped Archway Roadmaster improve safety around specialist road maintenance vehicles.

The solution provides operators with greater awareness, faster hazard detection, and improved protection for vulnerable road users, supporting safer and more efficient road maintenance operations.
