AI-Based Pothole Detection for Enhanced Road Safety

Potholes are a major safety hazard on roads. They can cause damage to vehicles, lead to accidents, and even injure or kill people. Traditional methods of pothole detection, such as manual inspection and visual surveys, are time-consuming and labor-intensive. They can also be inaccurate, especially in large or remote areas.

AI-based pothole detection is a promising new technology that can help to improve road safety. These systems use cameras, sensors, and machine learning algorithms to automatically detect and identify potholes. It can be deployed in a variety of ways, including:

• Fixed Cameras: Fixed cameras can be installed at strategic locations along roads to monitor for potholes. These cameras can send alerts to road crews when potholes are detected.
• Mobile Cameras: Mobile cameras can be mounted on vehicles or drones to survey roads for potholes. These cameras can collect data that can be used to create a map of potholes in a particular area.
• In-vehicle Sensors: In-vehicle sensors can be used to detect potholes as vehicles are driving. These sensors can send alerts to drivers when potholes are detected.

AI-based pothole detection systems have a number of advantages over traditional methods of pothole detection. They are:

• More Accurate: AI-based systems can detect potholes more accurately than a manual inspection or visual surveys. This is because AI systems can analyze large amounts of data and identify patterns that humans may not be able to see.
• More Efficient: It can be deployed more quickly and easily than traditional methods. This is because they do not require human operators to manually inspect roads.
• More Cost-effective: AI-based pothole detection systems are more cost-effective than traditional methods. This is because they can be deployed with fewer resources and can save money on road repairs.

CyberSWIFT’s AI-Enabled project monitoring system integration of AI-based pothole detection systems, which have the potential to significantly improve road safety. By automating the process of pothole detection, these systems can help to identify potholes more quickly and accurately. This can help to prevent accidents and save lives.
