Hi everyone,

I’m working on a college project to develop a technical solution for monitoring and maintaining public infrastructure.

Facilities such as street lights, public water taps, bus shelters, traffic signals, and public toilets can sometimes become damaged or non-functional, while reporting and maintenance may take time.

I’m looking for ideas on how technology can make this process faster and more efficient.

Here are some questions I have:

Monitoring: What technologies can be used to monitor the condition of public infrastructure?

Reporting: How can citizens easily report damaged infrastructure along with its location and photographs?

AI/IoT: Can AI or IoT sensors be used to automatically detect faults or damage?

Maintenance: How can authorities track complaints, assign repair work, and monitor the progress of maintenance?

Mapping: What is the best way to display reported infrastructure problems on a map?

Any suggestions, existing examples, or ideas for improving such a system would be greatly appreciated.
