Highlights
1. This system uses dashcam, GPS and accelerometer.
2. AI vision models are used to identify the size of potholes.
3. Codex has been used to create the app for this system.
After identifying the potholes, identify who is responsible for it:
If you go from your home to office or somewhere on your bike, scooter or car and find potholes on the road, it causes trouble in the journey and spoils the mood. The biggest thing is that the common man often does not know how to get rid of this and how to complain to the responsible person for this. But now an engineer from Bengaluru has found a possible solution to this. Actually, with the help of dashcam, artificial intelligence and database of government contracts, the engineer has developed a system which identifies potholes on the road and identifies the contractor responsible for them. Let us know about it in detail.
Gaurav Sen, in collaboration with ChatGPT India, explained the system in a video on Instagram. The video was then shared on X, where people loved it and shared their reactions. As the video went viral, people praised him for addressing a problem that affects motorists across the country. Some on social media are also suggesting that civic officials could use such a system to identify damaged roads and expedite repairs.
How the system works
- The system uses a dashcam, GPS, and accelerometer to collect information while driving.
- The footage is processed using an AI vision model to identify potholes of different sizes.
- Codex was used to create an app for the system, which records the necessary data and sends it to OpenAI.
- The system can also identify potholes that are difficult to identify from a distance because their size is unclear and they sometimes resemble speed breakers.
After identifying the potholes, identify who is responsible for it:
- The app can access 2,900 government contracts and identify the contractor responsible for the road's defects.
- Within 4 seconds, the app can create a proper record, including a photo of the road, its exact location, the tender number, and the official responsible for the road.
- If the road is still under warranty, the contractor can repair it at his own expense.
- Sen personally tested the system in real-world conditions, and it worked perfectly.
- The system detected 12 potholes along the route and provided him with evidence he could use to complain to civic officials.
