Using the latest technological advancements, recently, NHAI of India was able to set a Guinness World Record in highway construction, wherein 75 kilometres of road stretch was constructed in Maharashtra in about 105 hours and 33 minutes. This telemetry and Internet of Things (IoT) technology enables fleet managers to be in command and handle the working load of a machine to optimize assignments even better.

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.
