Argis Solutions Featured in the Spring 2020 issue of ArcNews

Argis is pleased to report that our road improvement project is still positively impacting the City of Houston’s Public Works department. This machine learning project, focused on improving road quality for the City of Houston, is featured in the Spring 2020 issue of ArcNews.

Houston, our nation’s fourth largest city, has 15,000 miles of roadways to monitor and maintain. We designed and created a migration tool, the SSAV web viewer, that analyzes ride quality, conducts pavement assessment, and calculates road width and length so that the City of Houston has the information it needs to efficiently plan repairs and accurately analyze repair cost. 

“We used Esri tools to provide the advanced analysis and the spatial optimization tools to help the City make better decisions,” said Hustad.

The SSAV web viewer that Argis built can analyze the condition of individual streets and also rate the overall condition of whole neighborhoods. This way, instead of focusing solely on repairing the worst individual roads, the City can ensure that entire areas receive maintenance at the same time. In turn, this fosters efficiency and generates greater resident satisfaction.”

Machine learning is just one of the ways that Argis is using innovative technology to design practical applications, creating effective solutions in the state and local government sphere.
