This session will provide an overview of SewerLogic. SewerLogic is a tool recently developed by AECOM and uses computer vision to automatically detect defects in sewers and improve the efficiency of sewer rehabilitation planning.
Learning Objectives:
Appreciate how machine learning and artificial intelligence can aid engineers plan and execute sewer rehabilitation programs and integrate with existing workflows
Recognize the key elements and steps necessary to set up and train AI to automate detection of defects in sewers
Anticipate how emerging tools can improve the efficiency of sewer rehab programs, levels of service and aid in making data-driven decisions
