Gurugram, April 14
The Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) is planning to switch to Artificial Intelligence (AI) to seek solutions to road maintenance and repair in city. Once implemented, the initiative will be the first of its kind in Haryana.
The authority has invited bids for an agency that would be given the task of conducting surveys and monitoring and maintaining roads using AI.
At present, the GMDA has a road network spread over 300 km in the city, which is being managed through manual surveys and later estimates prepared for carrying out repairs. With the adoption of AI, the GMDA wants to enhance efficiency and cost-effectiveness in road maintenance operations.
The shift is also expected to drastically reduce reliance on extensive manpower required for the task. The agency will deploy a vehicle equipped with all-weather cameras to record video footage with GPS location tags. It will be able to capture potholes, cracks and patches.
