Indian Government tests AI system that spots potholes and road cracks using smartphone videos
- The government is testing an AI system that can detect potholes, cracks and other defects on rural roads from smartphone videos.
- The trials are being conducted on roads built under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana PMGSY as part of a nationwide exercise.
- The system is being developed by the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing C-DAC with the National Rural Infrastructure Development Agency NRIDA.
- AI will flag seven types of defects, but engineers will still physically verify them before maintenance decisions are made.
