AI System to Detect Overflowing Trash Bins at Shopping Centers in St. Petersburg
The Gorodovoy neural network is expanding its capabilities to detect urban maintenance violations, including overflowing trash bins, unauthorized scaffolding and road defects.
The functionality of the Gorodovoy system, used to detect urban maintenance violations in St. Petersburg, is set to expand, Pavel Romanov, head of the press service of the State Administrative and Technical Inspectorate, told Business FM St. Petersburg.
The AI will now be able to identify overflowing trash bins at shopping center entrances. Previously, the system was limited to detecting graffiti, air conditioning units on building facades and potholes on roads.
An Essential Tool
According to Romanov, St. Petersburg began using AI to monitor urban infrastructure in 2023. Today, the system can inspect thousands of sites per day and notify property owners about violations.
Earlier, eight Gorodovoy systems were used in St. Petersburg to manage snowfall, focusing on buildings where falling snow and icicles had previously been recorded.
