Civil Engineers & Urban Planners: Leveraging AI-powered Mapping for Safe, Equitable and Complete Streets.
Communities around the world are increasingly relying on geospatial data to understand and improve transportation infrastructure. Unfortunately, most of this data is either unavailable or out-of-date leaving a gap in our ability to quickly understand all of the assets that must be managed or maintained in our environment.
Thanks to innovations in artificial intelligence (AI)-based mapping, civil engineers can now streamline the data creation and acquisition process without sacrificing quality or going over budget. Mapping sidewalks, crosswalks, curbs, and other key accessibility features provide critical insight into transportation network safety and accessibility, ultimately powering better active transportation planning, pedestrian right-of-way, Vision Zero, and similar initiatives.
Join Bill Singleton from Ecopia AI as he explores the many ways civil engineering firms are helping public and private organizations foster safer, more sustainable, livable, and equitable communities with AI-powered geospatial data. During the session, we will walk through how Ecopia AI is building out the first and only comprehensive, accurate, and up-to-date layer of nationwide pedestrian feature data to empower civil engineers with a digital source of truth for client projects. Bill will also share examples of how civil engineers not only save time and resources by leveraging AI-based mapping, but also fuel more impactful client engagements in pedestrian right-of-way, Vision Zero, and active transportation planning.
