HYDERABAD: The Telangana Artificial Intelligence Mission (T-AIM), in partnership with Capgemini, has launched the Mobility AI Grand Challenge with an aim to find innovative and viable solutions for the GHMC to identify and classify potholes.
It may be mentioned here that the T-AIM, which is an initiative of the State government powered by NASSCOM, conducted a similar challenge for the Forest Department earlier this month. The Mobility AI Grand Challenge will help the GHMC to classify pothole severity across specified routes in Hyderabad using live and archived video feeds.
