Helsingborg Stad

🌍 The problem: Slow and expensive inventory of street network affecting traffic safety, and leading to inefficient use of resources.

💡 The solution: AI-based evaluation of damages on paving and traffic signs, detecting cracks, potholes, patches and iron plates. 

Helsingborg Stad are using an AI-technology in (almost) regular smart phones mounted as dashcams in garbage trucks. Those vehicles covers almost around 95% of the road network that the city is responsible to maintain. Installed on the phones used are an AI-app that, on-the-fly, makes an evaluation of the damage level on the paving. We detect cracks, potholes, patches and iron plates. They detect traffic signs to see if they are damaged, or if they are occluded, if they are littered or having bad reflection and also if we have a mismatch against NVDB.

Florian Westphal
Jönköping University

🌍 The problem: Outdated maps lacking sufficient detail on small-scale hydrology and soil conditions are hindering effective environmental protection and infrastructure development.
💡 The solution: AI-driven mapping using high-resolution digital elevation models and national datasets

Florian, an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Jönköping University, is currently working on this research project in collaboration with SLU. By leveraging recent advancements in laser scanning, the project aims to generate new maps covering all of Sweden. These maps will provide detailed information on small-scale hydrology and soil conditions, including surface geology, soil depth, ditches, streams, and wetlands, thereby enhancing environmental protection and supporting sustainable infrastructure development.
