YEREVAN, April 9. /ARKA/. Armenia intends to purchase a device with AI technology to analyze road surface layers, announced RA Minister of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure David Khudatyan.
According to him, the equipment will allow for a full road surface analysis and, using artificial intelligence, determine the necessary type of repair.
"It allows for a full road surface analysis and, by comparing the data with AI, determines the type of repair required. In other words, the equipment will drive along the road and advise whether a medium or major repair is needed, and to what depth the layer should be replaced," Khudatyan said at a government meeting on Thursday.
The minister noted that the device will be able to detect, in particular, cracks at a depth of up to 70 cm, which will help make decisions about major or medium repairs.
According to Khudatyan, following a market study, the cost of such devices ranges from $1.2 million to $1.5 million. "We're talking about serious equipment of regional significance," he said.
