RoadBotics

FM Conway have partnered with US company RoadBotics, bringing AI technology to the roads of London and the South.

Using Artificial intelligence (AI), RoadBotics have developed a new method of pavement condition assessment which is set to transform highway asset management. The system provides analysis that is objective, time saving and affordable and its use means that for hard pressed highway authorities, planned maintenance becomes a simplified process. 

How it Works

  • A standard electric vehicle, equipped with mobile phone camera technology, is driven over a specified route to collect visual data of carriageway condition.
  • This visual data is then uploaded to the cloud, and objectively rated on a 1-5 scale by RoadBotics’ Artificial Intelligence technology.
  • Results are then compiled and presented alongside images of each corresponding 3m section of carriageway to inform future maintenance strategies.
