PRESS RELEASE: Elgin Selects Cyclomedia to Update Asset Inventory

MIDDLETON, WI July 7, 2022--Cyclomedia, the leading provider of accurate geospatial imagery-data and data analytics, is proud to announce that it has been awarded a major project for Elgin, IL, located 38 miles northwest of Chicago. This project will enable the city to elevate service levels for the nearly 115,000 residents it serves.

“We are very excited to partner with Cyclomedia on this street-level asset capture project,” said Brendan Brooks, ITS Network/GIS Manager at the City of Elgin. “By utilizing Cyclomedia’s best in class 250-megapixel cameras and state of the art LiDAR technology, the city will be able to create more accurate inventories of our street-level assets. The more accurate our inventories are, the better we can make data-driven decisions to better serve our community.” Cyclomedia’s best-in-class street level imagery and advanced terrestrial mobile LiDAR will be accessible across all city departments, including public works, police, fire, community development and parks and recreation. Additionally, the project will include the identification and management of street signs extracted through imagery analytics.

“One of the key factors in selecting Cyclomedia during our evaluation process was its cloud-based ‘Street Smart’ interactive web viewer that gives all city staff access to these street-level images,” said Brooks. “Cyclomedia also offers the best-in-class resolution and easy integration into our current Esri GIS system, providing a turnkey solution for image capture, processing and deployment.”

An enterprise license and shared access to Cyclomedia’s cloud based interactive web viewer, Street Smart™, not only optimizes the cost effectiveness of the solution but also ensures that all departments have a common, timely and ground truth understanding of the city’s environment. These actionable insights increase both the confidence level of critical decisions and actions when, and where, they are required.

“We take pride in our ability to deliver significant and unique value to our local government partners,” said Danny Hendren – Senior Sales Director, Local Government at Cyclomedia. "The ‘Innovative City in the Suburbs’ will now be able to work smarter, not harder while realizing significant cost savings and improved efficiencies.”
