Episode 120: Machine learning pavement conditions

AI and Machine Learning will probably be the next disruptive technology that will spawn a quantum leap in the way we approach the provision of winter service.  On this episode we’re heading to the University at Albany in New York to visit with Nick Bassill,  director of the New York State Weather Risk Communication Center and Carly Sutter, graduate research assistant there at the Atmospheric Sciences Research Center about a project Carly has been working on with the New York State Department of Transportation to identify road conditions from images using machine learning and the results could have impacts well beyond.

They take some of the mystery out of AI and machine learning is a way that's easy to understand.  For more info on this project, AI and machine learning reach out to Nick at nbassill@albany.edu or Carly at csutter@albany.edu
