Alaska DOT’s AI-Powered Inspections Cut Costs by 90%

Anchorage, Alaska
Oct 28, 2024

Project Overview

Utilizing crowd-sourced dash camera imagery and artificial intelligence, this system conducts weekly inspections in Anchorage, Juneau, and Fairbanks. It automates the detection of various roadway conditions and assets, including snow removal status, streetlight functionality, sign inventory, pavement conditions, and guardrail damage. By providing real-time insights, the system enables the Alaska DOT to allocate resources more effectively, enhance road safety, and reduce operational costs.

Key Features

• Automated Snow Removal Monitoring: Detects whether pedestrian walkways have been cleared of snow. • Streetlight Outage Detection: Identifies non-operational streetlights during nighttime hours. • Sign Inventory Management: Detects damaged road signs, classifies them by MUTCD code, and assesses retroreflectivity. • Pavement Condition Assessment: Performs crack and pothole detection, generating Pavement Condition Index scores. • Guardrail Damage Detection: Locates and evaluates the severity of guardrail damage.
