Revolutionary AI System to Enhance City Road Maintenance

The Public Works Department is set to implement an AI-based system for detecting road issues like debris and garbage. The Intelligent Road Maintenance Monitoring System will integrate data from 1,500 CCTV cameras and manage complaints, improving road safety and cleanliness.

The Public Works Department has unveiled plans for an innovative Artificial Intelligence-based software designed to tackle road defects and debris hindering traffic flow. The system, known as the Intelligent Road Maintenance Monitoring System (IRRMS), seeks to streamline road-related complaints and enhance resolution efficiency.

The IRRMS aims to provide a unified view of complaints, utilizing a comprehensive network of 1,500 CCTV cameras for data collection. This critical infrastructure will focus on obstructions affecting road safety and cleanliness, making city roads safer and cleaner.

A mobile application is also in development to support regular inspections, featuring geo-tagged video capabilities to improve accuracy in reporting and inspections. The project, which has a budget of Rs 32 lakh and a 12-month completion deadline, represents a monumental step toward modernized urban maintenance.
