In partnership with Flint, Michigan, we have lead an AI decision support system to guide the detection and replacement of lead and other hazardous pipes in Flint. This collaboration has enabled the efficient allocation of resources for the inspection and removal of unsafe infrastructure, significantly enhancing community water safety. Our innovative approach, underpinned by a dynamic statistical model, has not only provided immediate benefits to Flint but also offers a scalable solution for other municipalities facing similar challenges.
In partnership with the city of Detroit, we developed an evaluation method to assess the equity of the road resurfacing program. This collaborative effort focuses on ensuring fair and just allocation of resources for infrastructure improvements, specifically targeting the maintenance and enhancement of road quality across various communities. Our approach combines data analysis, community feedback, and a comprehensive equity framework to identify and address disparities, ensuring that the road resurfacing program effectively serves all areas of the city, promoting greater inclusivity and fairness in urban development.
In partnership with the city of Austin, we plan to develop a predictive model of energy and water use in the city's buildings with high accuracy. With historical utility data and real-time inputs from SmartMeters, the project aims to develop near real-time models considering factors like building characteristics, weather, and time of year. This project helps City of Austin facilities to optimize their operational efficiency and serve as a model for broader implementation. The outcomes of this project include development of tools like web portals or dashboards for wider community use, aiming to reduce energy and water demand, support the city's Climate Equity Plan, and promote environmental conservation and stewardship. This project not only represents a step towards more sustainable city operations but also enhances the city's capacity to meet community needs through innovative technology.
