Irama - Intelligent Road Asset Monitoring & Assessment for AI-driven Road Management.
Irama (Intelligent Road Asset Monitoring & Assessment) uses compact Edge-AI devices in ordinary vehicles to act as fast, low-cost surveyors. The system builds a continuously updating digital twin of the road network, detecting defects like potholes, cracks, and damaged manholes with precise GPS. This data helps agencies track changes over time, prioritize repairs, justify budgets, and demonstrate improvements.
Supported through a research grant of ₹80 Lakh from iHub DivyaSampark, IIT Roorkee, established under DST’s NM-ICPS Programme, Government of India.
2 published patents: (i) multi-functional road monitoring system, and (ii) single-camera pothole volume/area estimation method.
Recognized nationally and internationally through publications and conferences
