AMSA

Road incidents detected with computer vision

Computer vision that analyses images captured on the road and gives maintenance a report sorted by priority.

Starting point

AMSA maintains roads and needs to detect incidents from images: damaged elements, obstacles, signage. Manual review was slow and hard to scale.

What we did

We are developing a computer vision system that analyses images captured on the road, detects and classifies incidents, places them on the map and prioritises them by severity. Maintenance teams get a report ready to act on.

The change

Before and now.

Before

  • Driving the road, looking and taking notes
  • Going back to the office and typing incidents into a report
  • A slow review that is hard to scale

Now

  • Cameras capture on every run
  • AI detects, classifies and places every incident on the map
  • The team heads out with a prioritised report

Step by step.

  1. Input

    On-road images

    Vehicle cameras

    The vehicle's cameras capture the road as it drives.

  2. AI

    Computer vision

    Detects and classifies

    The model detects damaged elements, obstacles or signage and classifies them.

  3. Rule

    Priority

    By severity

    Each incident gets a priority based on its severity.

  4. System

    Incident map

    Geolocated

    Everything is placed on the map, with its image.

  5. Person

    Maintenance

    Acts with judgement

    The team decides the route and where to start.

And up and running.

Result

Faster detection, less manual work and operational support that improves with every kilometre analysed.

For the team

Road teams head out with a clear list of where to act first.
