# How can a city, transit agency or business district use computer vision to check bus shelters, benches and other street furniture?

Cameras on a work truck or a crew phone take pictures of each shelter, bench, bin and bike rack along the route, and the model marks ones that look damaged, such as cracked or missing glass panels, broken seats, graffiti, overflowing bins, missing route signs and loose or bent parts. Each mark is saved with the photo, the asset ID or GPS spot and the date, so crews can plan cleaning and repairs by priority. A crew lead decides every job, and the usual inspections, standards and records stay in place.

## What this means in practice

- Cameras on a work truck or a crew phone take pictures of each bus shelter, bench, trash bin, bike rack and planter along the route, ideally from the same angle each pass.
- The model is trained on the owner own street furniture. It marks cracked or missing glass or panels, broken or missing seats and slats, graffiti and stickers, overflowing or tipped bins, missing or damaged route and info signs, and loose, leaning or bent parts.
- Each mark is saved with the photo, the asset ID or GPS spot and the date, so the team can see which stops and blocks need work most often and plan cleaning and repairs by priority.
- A crew lead reviews every mark and decides what gets cleaned, fixed or replaced. The cameras point at the street furniture, not at riders, and any people or plates caught in view are blurred.
- Start with one route or one district, compare the marks with what crews find on their own rounds for a few weeks, and keep the existing inspections, access standards, work orders and records in place.

## How Lid Vizion approaches it

We start with the business decision and operating context, define ownership and measurable milestones, then use configuration, integrations, automation, or custom software only where each earns its place.
