THE Shah Alam City Council (MBSA), in a pilot project, is using artificial intelligence (AI) to comb the streets to find defects, potholes and sunken patches, aimed at addressing where road maintenance efforts are most needed.

It is an ongoing project with private firm Urban Explorer Sdn Bhd through the city council’s Engineering Department to detect deteriorated roads.
