Pre-commercial pilot collaboration

AI-driven road intelligence for councils and highways teams

Auztec is developing ARCH (Anomaly Reporting & Correction Hub) to help local authorities and transport operators identify defects earlier, prioritise interventions, and integrate outputs into maintenance workflows.

Auztec Platform Themes

Enterprise-ready design principles for public-sector pilots

Edge + Cloud

Capture, process and route outputs into operational workflows.

Operational Focus

Designed for field validation and practical decision support.

Data Governance

Council-first data ownership and controlled data use.

Pilot-ready Process

NDA, LOI, pilot planning and compliance-first engagement.

What Auztec is building

ARCH is being developed to convert road condition signals into clear, actionable outputs that support inspection teams, asset managers and contractor workflows.

ARCH product layer

Anomaly Reporting & Correction Hub (pre-commercial development)

ARCH-highlighted section
ARCH capability

Detect and classify road defects

Capture and analyse road condition indicators to support earlier identification and prioritisation of defects.

ARCH capability

Prioritise interventions

Turn defect signals into decision-ready intelligence aligned to operational workflows and maintenance planning.

ARCH capability

Support workflow integration

Designed to support downstream integration, including reporting and work-order processes, subject to pilot scope.

How ARCH is intended to work in practice

A simple operational flow for pilot planning: route capture feeds ARCH analysis, risk triage, and decision-ready outputs for inspection and maintenance teams.

Illustrative pilot workflow

Capture → Analyse → Triage → Work-order support
Step 1

Route capture

Route signals

Step 2

ARCH analysis

Anomaly classification

Step 3

Risk triage

Priority ranking

Step 4

Work-order support

Decision-ready output

1. Capture

Route-based inputs gather condition signals across agreed operating areas.

2. Analyse

ARCH classifies anomalies into review-ready categories.

3. Prioritise

Outputs are ranked to support triage and intervention planning.

4. Report

Decision-ready outputs support inspection and downstream workflow integration.

Pilot framework

Auztec is seeking a forward-thinking local authority or transport operator for a controlled, no-cost field evaluation once the prototype is ready.

Indicative pilot scope

  • Single vehicle deployment (indicative)
  • 8–12 week evaluation period (indicative)
  • Agreed routes / operating areas
  • Joint success criteria and validation protocol
  • Governance, risk and data handling agreed in advance

Engagement pathway

  1. Introductory discussion (15–20 minutes)
  2. Mutual NDA (where required)
  3. Non-binding Letter of Intent (optional, for pre-commercial pilot planning)
  4. Pilot planning, governance and compliance review
  5. Formal pilot agreement before deployment
Important: Auztec is currently at an early stage. ARCH is being developed for real-world validation and any pilot would be subject to prototype readiness, internal approvals, and separate formal agreements.
Exploratory pilot discussion

Discuss a future no‑cost pilot pathway

For councils and transport operators exploring better defect visibility, Auztec can support an initial discussion on scope, governance, and indicative validation criteria.

Pre-commercial scope

Feasibility, governance, and validation planning.

No procurement commitment

Exploratory discussion only unless formal agreements follow.

Why Auztec

Built for practical deployment discussions with councils and infrastructure stakeholders - not just lab demos.

Operationally grounded

Focus on deployment pathways, governance, and workflow fit - not just model performance.

Public-sector aware

Approach shaped around council data ownership, compliance, and practical implementation constraints.

Early-stage transparency

Clear, NDA-safe communication on progress and pilot planning without overclaiming maturity.

Kent-based founder-led

Direct founder engagement and rapid iteration with prospective pilot partners.

Compliance and governance approach

We are building with a compliance-first posture for public-sector pilot discussions.

Data and privacy

  • Council-first data ownership approach for pilot discussions
  • UK GDPR-aligned planning where applicable
  • DPIA / data processing terms to be agreed prior to deployment if required
  • Controlled disclosure under NDA for technical details

Commercial process

  • Non-binding discovery discussions first
  • LOI (optional) to support pilot planning and investment readiness
  • Separate pilot agreement for any deployment
  • No implied procurement commitment from exploratory engagement

Contact Auztec

Open to introductory conversations with local authorities, transport operators, and potential pilot collaborators.
