City Using New Technology to Better
Assess Roadway Conditions
The City of Sa
vannah is partnering with a
company called ‘Roadbot
ics’ to use machine-learning
technology to better assess
Savannah’s roadway condi
tions.
Roadbotics utiliz
es a vehicle outfitted with
data collection cameras and
technology to assess the con
ditions of streets and road
ways. Their machine-learn
ing technology analyzes
the data and provides a map
detailing the results of the
assessment.
In the past, the
City would hire interns to
complete assessments of
the nearly 700 miles of City
roadways. This process
would typically take 3 years
to complete the 700 mile as
sessment. Roadbotics plans
to complete their assessment
of 350 miles of roadway in
just a few months. This new
effort will provide the City
a cost savings and produce
more accurate, timely, and
transparent results.
