Raven Ground Source Truth

The Raven Ground Source Truth feed type in ArcGIS Velocity connects to Raven Connected to receive real-time street-view imagery and AI classification data from Raven's connected vehicle video processing devices. Cameras installed on moving vehicles capture street images and analyze them with AI. The feed then sends both images and detected information, such as road cracks, potholes, construction, bollards, trees, and parked vehicles, to Velocity, along with the location where each image was captured. This helps organizations monitor roadway conditions, prioritize maintenance, and manage street-level assets.

Examples

The following are example use cases for the feed:

  • An asset management team uses a Raven Ground Source Truth feed to automatically flag road segments with detected cracking or potholes for maintenance scheduling.

  • A GIS analyst uses a Raven Ground Source Truth feed to visualize the real-time location and classification of street-level assets, such as signage, bollards, and vegetation, as vehicles travel their routes.

Usage notes

Note the following when working with the feed:

  • You can access real-time video and telematics data for your fleet in the Raven Connected app.

  • After generating the API key, copy the API key and provide it along with the feed item URL to Raven Connected so they can start sending data to the URL endpoint.

  • Velocity automatically handles the data schema for the data types. You cannot add new fields because the schema is predetermined based on the data provided by Raven Connected.

  • The Location parameter is handled automatically when identifying key fields.

  • Velocity automatically handles the Track ID and Date and time parameters when identifying the key fields.
