Client: Raipur Municipal Corporation (RMC)
Industry: Urban Infrastructure & Road Safety
Challenge
Raipur Municipal Corporation (RMC) aimed to conduct a comprehensive Road Safety Audit and Road Pavement Distress Audit across 100 km of road infrastructure. The primary objectives were:
- Identifying safety hazards and high-risk zones.
- Assessing pavement distress levels to prioritize maintenance.
- Implementing data-driven decision-making for road infrastructure improvements.
- Traditional methods of auditing roads were time-consuming, labor-intensive, and prone to errors. RMC needed a more efficient, accurate, and scalable solution.
Solution
To address these challenges, RoadVision leveraged AWS cloud computing and AI-powered analytics to implement an advanced road assessment system. The key components of the solution included:
- AWS Cloud Infrastructure: Utilized Amazon S3 for secure data storage and AWS Lambda for real-time data processing.
- AI & Machine Learning: Deployed AI-powered image recognition models on AWS SageMaker to detect road distress such as potholes, cracks, and uneven surfaces.
- IoT & Sensor Integration: Used GPS-enabled vehicles equipped with high-resolution cameras and LiDAR sensors to collect road condition data.
- Data Analytics & Reporting: Employed AWS QuickSight for data visualization and dashboards to provide actionable insights.
- Automated Compliance Checks: Ensured alignment with IRC (Indian Roads Congress) standards using automated compliance verification.
Impact
The implementation of AWS-powered RoadVision resulted in significant improvements:
- Enhanced Road Safety: Identified and mitigated high-risk zones, reducing accident-prone areas.
- Optimized Maintenance Planning: Provided RMC with a prioritized list of roads requiring urgent repairs, leading to cost-effective maintenance.
- Faster & Accurate Assessments: Reduced audit time by 50% while increasing accuracy by 30%.
- Community Benefits: Improved road conditions and smoother travel experience for residents and commuters.
