FAST (Footpath and verge Asset Smart observation Technology) is Fedasen’s specialised solution built on the foundation of the Fedasen Intelligent Road Analyser (FiRA), designed to deliver intelligent, high-precision asset management for footpaths, bicycle paths, shared paths, and urban verge areas. FAST combines advanced AI models, custom software, and a compact hardware setup that can be mounted on a variety of platforms—including motorised scooters, standard vehicles, and even autonomous robots—to access complex environments such as stairs, underpasses, and elevated walkways.

The system captures and processes visual clues from surfaces, kerb gaps, signage, vegetation, urban fixtures, and service zones. It automatically detects and classifies defined assets, calculates their exact geographic location and dimensions, and evaluates their placement and serviceability condition. FAST also applies the same AI techniques to identify and assess a wide range of defects and deformations, analysing their severity and potential safety risks.
By integrating multi-modal imagery—including ground-level and aerial views—FAST ensures comprehensive coverage and accuracy, enabling councils and infrastructure managers to maintain reliable, up-to-date asset registries and make informed decisions for maintenance and planning.
