Low-Cost AI Roadway Asset Inventory and Data Collection - Keith Desertspring, Wisconsin DOT - Louis Feagans, Indiana DOT, Alison Grand, Indiana DOT

This session will explore how Indiana and Wisconsin DOTs are beginning to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to quickly and inexpensively inventory and monitor highway assets (signs, guardrails, crosswalks, etc.) from roadway Photolog, pavement surface, and aerial imagery. Initial results are very promising! We will cover the basics of how the process works, capabilities and limitations, required resources, legal and IT considerations, and give some pointers on how to accomplish this at your own agency with only a small investment.
