FixCyprus: Crowdsourcing Smartphone Imagery Data For Managing Road Safety Hazards

In this demonstration paper, we present FixCyprus, which is a cost-effective crowdsourcing service for road transportation authorities in Cyprus to gather information and manage defects and incidents on the road network and surrounding infrastructure (e.g., pavements, lighting, drinking water pipes, etc.). The production service, which includes a lightweight and user-friendly mobile application for sharing image-annotated incident reports, is already operating nationwide for six months providing significant budget savings by reducing field inspections and the use of expensive equipment. We will demonstrate FixCyprus using two modes: i) Interactive mode, where attendees will be able to create and submit their own dummy incident reports and see the end-to-end processing flow in a test environment and ii) Trace-driven mode, where attendees will be able to visualize a large number of synthetic reports, see the workload for manually managing them, and explore enhancements that are underway for automating some of the underlying tasks using machine learning.
