Roads beware! The Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology (KICT) has developed a groundbreaking ‘Road Pothole Filtering Program’ to tackle those pesky potholes that plague our streets. Potholes may be small, but they pack a punch, causing chaos for drivers and pedestrians alike. But fear not, because KICT has come to the rescue with their innovative program.
Potholes are like landmines for our roads. They occur when rainwater seeps into the ground, weakening the asphalt and causing it to cave in under the weight of passing vehicles. With abnormal weather patterns on the rise due to global warming, potholes have become an even bigger problem. But KICT has a solution up its sleeve.
Led by the brilliant Dr. Moonsup Lee, the KICT research team has developed a pothole filtering program that is set to revolutionize the way we deal with these road hazards. The program, which will be added to the Public Data Management System, filters out objects that may look like potholes but are actually shadows, lane markings, or tires. It uses artificial intelligence to train the algorithm to identify and select the real deal – the potholes themselves.
But that’s not all! Once the program has done its magic and inspected the potholes, it sends the verified information to the road maintenance personnel every three hours. This means that emergency pothole restoration can happen faster than ever before. No more waiting around for those pesky potholes to be filled!
Dr. Lee is excited about the potential of this program, stating, ‘We anticipate that the newly developed system will reduce the processing time of emergency pothole restoration on roads.’ And who can blame him? This innovation has the potential to make our roads safer and our journeys smoother.
So next time you hit a pothole, remember that KICT is working tirelessly to make sure they become a thing of the past. With their pothole filtering program, roads will never be the same again. Say goodbye to those bumpy rides and hello to smooth-sailing highways.
