Suwon Deploys AI System to Detect Road Hazards

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-sung] Suwon Special City announced on the 22nd that it has adopted an 'AI Road Detection System' that uses artificial intelligence to detect road hazards.

The 'AI Road Detection System' is equipped with a road analysis device based on GPS (Global Positioning System) and AI (Artificial Intelligence). When a vehicle equipped with this system detects potholes, road cracks, or fallen objects while driving, it transmits information about the road hazards, including photos and location data, to the relevant department in real time.

The relevant department conducts repairs promptly based on information identified by the AI Road Detection System.

The city plans to use the AI Road Detection System to identify the status of road hazards by season and section, and will utilize the collected data when establishing road repair and management plans.

A city official stated, "Previously, civil servants patrolled roads to identify road hazards, which resulted in relatively low accuracy and raised safety concerns. We will use the AI Road Detection System to take swift action before accidents occur."
