Department of Civil Engineering, will develop an internal damage identification model that leverages deep-learning technologies.“This ACE system will be like using a sonogram on bridges and pavement,” Ham said. “We’ll use the system to find internal cracks—ones that aren’t always visible to the naked eye—without a closed lane on a highway. We’ll use a wave-scattering theory approach to determine the severity of those internal cracks.” See https://www.miragenews.com/like-using-sonogram-on-bridges-and-pavement-819588/
Transport NSW and the Roads and Transport Directorate will trial a new Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology that tracks and prioritises road repairs, and could even identify potholes before they form.The $2.9 million ‘Asset AI™’ trial has seen 32 sensors installed on public transport buses, and when combined with local weather observations, the technology could be used to calculate and predict the rate of deterioration in roads, and streamline asset maintenance.

In classic bikes, the chain always has to keep making a big jump when shifting gears. This does not always work out well. Thanks to Classified’s technology, you can shift gears while standing still or on the move!See https://classified-cycling.cc
Triumph announce the official completion of the TE-1 electric development project - Significantly exceeding the real-world range of the equivalent electric motorcycles available today, with a category-leading 161km / 100mile range, based on live testing and official projections. 130 kW (177PS / 175bhp) peak power The TE-1 prototype delivers an incredible standard of acceleration, achieving 3.6 seconds 0-60mph, and an outstanding 6.2 seconds 0-100mphSee https://www.nationthailand.com/business/40017667
UK - Balfour Beatty has deployed an automated conte laying machine on the M25 in an industry first.The automated cone laying machine has been designed to minimise safety risks associated with road works.While cone laying remains essential to delineate traffic during maintenance works, it also poses one of the biggest risks facing roadworkers and there has been an industry-wide push to try and combat the number of accidents that happen each year.See https://www.newcivilengineer.com/latest/balfour-beatty-deploys-automated-cone-laying-machine-on-m25-13-07-2022/
