Vaughan, ON counters slippery roads with Winter Maintenance Artificial Intelligence System

Vaughan, ON Winter Maintenance Artificial Intelligence

Complete

This AI-powered tool produces real-time predictions of road work needs during snow and ice storms. City staffers train the system with weather forecasts, current traffic times, and reports from drivers. The resulting road salt recommendations replace less exact estimates made in the past by Roads Division staff. The Winter Maintenance Artificial Intelligence System reduced salt usage by 40% and operational costs by $400,000 CAD in its first year.
