On August 11, 2026, NIHTE and IRF continued the certified training program with a focus on AI for Pavement Condition Assessment & Predictive Asset Management.
Sessions introduced participants to computer vision for automated pavement distress detection, drone-based and mobile mapping surveys, and machine learning models for predicting deterioration and estimating service life. The day concluded with a hands-on group exercise applying AI insights to a Nigerian federal highway corridor, showcasing how predictive tools can optimize limited budgets and extend asset life.
This practical engagement reinforced the transformative role of AI in building smarter, safer, and more resilient road networks for Nigeria and beyond.
