FiRA Onboard

Intelligent Data Capture for Smarter Asset Management

FiRA Onboard is Fedasen’s cutting-edge, in-vehicle solution designed to revolutionise road and footpath asset data collection. Built on our AI-driven methodology, FiRA Onboard combines advanced hardware with intelligent software to deliver a fully automated, high-precision data capture experience—without disrupting your fleet’s daily operations.

Mounted seamlessly on Fedasen, client, or contractor vehicles, FiRA Onboard utilises 360-degree cameras, GNSS, and IMU sensors to capture every detail of your road network. Its onboard processing unit pre-processes imagery and securely transmits it to the FiRA, where our AI and machine learning models identify, classify, and assess assets and defects with unmatched accuracy.

Why FiRA Onboard?

AI-Powered Insight – Harness the power of over 2,300 AI models for precise asset and defect identification. Available in two editions: Standard (onboard processing) for instant insights and Light (cloud processing) for optimised performance.
Autonomous Operation – Fully automated with geofencing and motion detection, ensuring effortless data capture without operator intervention.
Real-Time Connectivity – Equipped with 4G/5G and Starlink for near real-time data synchronisation, even in remote or regional areas.
Smart Offline Mode – When connectivity drops, FiRA Onboard stores imagery and location data locally, queues it intelligently, and uses the Data Synchroniser to upload seamlessly once coverage is restored—guaranteeing zero data loss.

With FiRA Onboard, you’re not just collecting data—you’re unlocking actionable intelligence that drives smarter decisions, optimises maintenance planning, and reduces operational costs.

Unmatched Flexibility in Hardware Setup

One of FiRA Onboard’s greatest strengths is its adaptability. Unlike one-size-fits-all solutions, our modular hardware design allows us to select the best-fit configuration for each project, ensuring maximum efficiency, accuracy, and cost-effectiveness. This flexibility allows us to tailor the setup to the unique challenges of your network—whether it’s a dense urban environment, a regional highway, or a narrow footpath.

By leveraging different mounting options, we deliver fit-for-purpose solutions that optimise data capture across diverse conditions:

Road and Network-Level Surveys
- Cars and Utes – Ideal for rapid inspections and urban road networks.
- Buses and Trucks – Perfect for routine data capture during regular service routes, reducing additional operational costs.
Footpath and Bikeway Surveys
- E-Bikes and Bicycles – Efficient for shared paths, cycleways, and narrow corridors.
- Wheelchairs – Enable safe and accurate data collection in highly pedestrianised or accessibility-sensitive areas.
Specialised and Hard-to-Reach Areas
- Drones – Essential for capturing aerial imagery of roads with limited or no ground visibility, bridges, and elevated structures.
- Autonomous Rovers – For elevated walkways or restricted zones.
- Backpacks – Perfect for parks, trails, and other challenging terrains where vehicles cannot operate.

This multi-modal approach ensures that every asset and defect is captured accurately, regardless of location or complexity, while minimising disruption and maximising efficiency.
