This has to be the .kst pointless use of ai and waste of money, there are so many potholes just need to step outside
Ahh yes, brilliant idea. Damage the environment further so that you can find something that you would have no trouble finding if you actually walked along any road in any county, let alone drive it.
I guess my question would be, is that cheaper and easier to implement then sending out Gary and his road crew with instructions to fire at will?
A lack of detection isn’t the issue – the issue is the lack of repairing.
Or they could use their eyes.. I don’t understand the benefit of this unless it was fed up to date satellite imagery
Geez, sometimes there not a need for a technology solution – just send two guys out in a car with a notepad FFS.
So its costing 100k for a system that needs driving around to identify potholes, when they liyerally have thousands of people already doing that for free. Wonder how much was in the envelope for whoever approved this
They should put cameras on buses to find potholes, save themselves some money not having to send vans on those routes just to look for potholes
They have an £800m road maintenance backlog w-t-f? Spending 100k to try cut that bill using AI doesn’t sound that mental given the scale of their backlog AI would be used to access priority more than detection.
Nice to know 7% of the road fund budget I pay for in my council tax is used for useless AI.
Well they’re not doing a very good job, it’s like downtown Tehran over here! Use your fuckin eyes instead of AI!
Why not just use Waze? – people point out where pot holes are all the time!
This sounds like a grift to me (we’ll tell them we’re using AI but put the money in our pockets – sigh)
If you ever go onto FixMyStreet you’d know that detection isn’t an issue. Resource to repair is massively lacking.
It’s a great idea but as per usual the government is getting taken for a ride. lol.
I could build this system for a few thousand at most. It’s trivial and there are a few opensource pothole datasets complete with annotations. The issue has been covered by the autonomous driving community for pothole avoidance.
Potholes are so bad here, if there’s a road there’s a pothole. AI isn’t necessary.
Why? If they just install Waze… they’ll find a crowd sourced near live updating report of all potholes and how bad they are…. this is a solved problem!
Or they don’t want or can’t rely on third party data.. (not sure why!).. then maybe if the webpage for reporting potholes wasn’t utterly terrible… they wouldn’t need this! People would tell them!
Most councils have an app or website where locals can report potholes. So they’re likely using AI here to pretend that they’re preemptively monitoring the roads so locals make less reports. Their KPIs improve because the email numbers go down, they get less complaints when the holes aren’t immediately fixed after a report, and they still aren’t actually held accountable to fix the holes.
Are they that think they can’t see potholes? I guess that’s why there’s so many then. This can only be an improvement
Save money and use Waze. Potholes are constantly reported, and they are everywhere.
Don’t worry, after LGR in 2028, potholes and finance shortfall will be a thing of the past
Better off scanning their potholes for signs of road
There’s never been an issue detecting them. The councils across UK are told daily where they are via social media and email etc. The issue is fixing them. They spent months with spray paint round them and never filled.
