Aerbits / Municipal Infrastructure / 2026

Ground truth,
not more tickets.

Your public works department already has a backlog of existing reports: complaints from residents, internal inspections, tickets that take weeks to verify. Aerbits provides daily aerial ground truth to validate, correct, and close the information gap. No overwhelming crews with more sources of reporting. Just current condition photo evidence for every open work order, updated daily. No license plate readers. No facial recognition. No law enforcement.

The Problem

Your crews aren’t the bottleneck.
Your information is.

Every city runs a backlog of work orders, and nobody can say which are still active, which were cleaned weeks ago, and which were never real. So crews spend their days verifying instead of clearing — and the resident who reported a pile never hears that anything happened.

Method

Detect. Correlate. Close.

Daily aerial ground truth for the work orders you already have. Systematic flights cover every zone, every day — no new tickets, just current condition photo evidence for every ticket already in your queue.

01

Detect

AI detection with segmentation masks identifying illegal dumping from aerial imagery

Computer vision scans aerial photos and identifies illegal dumping with 94%+ confidence. GPS coordinates, size estimates, and classifications are automatically generated for every detection: from small litter clusters to large bulk waste piles.

02

Correlate

Aerial survey showing comprehensive detection of dumping along a city sidewalk and curb

Software automatically matches GPS coordinates from detections to open work order locations. It identifies which sites are clean, which have active dumping, and which are unreported, all from a single systematic survey pass.

03

Close

Follow-up aerial image showing current condition of a previously detected dumpsite

Each work order receives timestamped aerial photos as evidence. Clean sites are closed automatically with proof. Active sites get updated images. Unreported sites are flagged for crew consultation. No new tickets without context.

ResultComplete ground truth from existing work order to current condition. Systematic flights cover your entire city square mile by square mile, validating every location and updating every ticket. No new sources of work. A new source of truth.

Scale

One neighborhood or your entire city.
Same system, same daily coverage.

Systematic drone routes scale to any city size. Coverage is determined by geography, not contract scope. Every square mile gets the same daily attention, whether you start with one block or the whole city.

Oakland is next.

In Bayview-Hunters Point, one of San Francisco’s most impacted neighborhoods, daily aerial detection and automated reporting took 118 active dumpsites down to 5. Oakland has since adopted the same system citywide — PAC and council approval, mayoral press conference, contract execution underway — the first deployment of its kind in the nation.

96% Reduction
118 active dumpsites reduced to 5 through consistent daily detection and automated 311 reporting.
