Details In a society with a declining birthrate and an aging population, infrastructure maintenance is an urgent issue. Properly maintaining infrastructure can curb lifecycle costs, but the inspection process for this purpose is labor-intensive and costly, and is currently not fully implemented by local governments. In recent years, with the development of digital technologies such as AI and IoT, methods to automate inspection work have been rapidly developing. However, their significance and effectiveness have not been fully evaluated. In this study, we will organize the significance of utilizing digital technology in road inspection work, and clarify the trend in its practical application and the effect of its introduction.
