AI tool for tertiary roads

Public sector Country or Region Colombia Sourced From Sistemas de decisión automatizada en el sector público colombiano

This AI tool helps users identify and map tertiary roads (smaller rural roads) across a country using satellite images. It processes satellite data to automatically detect and georeference these roads, providing an accurate and up-to-date inventory. Users can then visualize road networks, assess accessibility, and make informed decisions for infrastructure planning and development. By automating this process, the AI reduces the time and cost associated with manual road mapping, supporting more efficient resource allocation for future projects. It ultimately helps improve transportation systems, particularly in rural and underserved areas.
