CoSci prof researching development of digital platform to provide real-time info on flood-damaged roads
When floodwaters strike, real-time information about flood-damaged roadways isn’t available to citizens or first responders.
Kunhee Choi, a construction science associate professor, is researching the development of a remote, digital platform that shows flood-induced road damage and predicts road damage before flooding happens.
The project will help lead to improved community hazard resilience and the development and evaluation of emerging artificial intelligence technology.
He is conducting the study with co-principal investigator David Jeong, professor of construction science, with two years, $300K in funding from the Texas Sea Grant College Program.
Choi, a Chancellor Enhancing Development and Generating Excellence in Scholarship Fellow, is part of a group of Texas A&M faculty honored for earning national acclaim for their scholarship.
He studies improving the transportation system’s adaptive capacity by creating and testing cyber-enabled systems.
Jeong, head of the Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence for Construction Management lab, seeks data-driven solutions for smarter decision making throughout the life cycle of construction projects.
