Public works teams are being asked to do more with less—keep roads safe, stretch budgets, extend the life of assets, and still find time to plan ahead. In this session, Aaron Rimes, Senior Regional Consultant, and Noah Butler, VP of Sales & Strategy, will walk through how agencies around the country are using real-time data and AI-driven tools to manage their roadway networks more efficiently—without adding complexity or creating another system to maintain.
We’ll take a practical look at how Roadway Lifecycle Management is changing and highlight real examples of tools like automated pavement condition data, predictive funding models, and proactive maintenance planning that help teams make confident decisions with the resources they already have.
Whether you're just starting to explore AI or you’re already working toward a data-driven strategy, this session will focus on clear, realistic applications that support everyday operations—not theoretical tech talk.
AI is shaping the future of infrastructure management, but the key is using it with purpose. When applied practically, it can help public works professionals protect their networks, improve safety outcomes, and get ahead of budget pressure—simply by putting better information to work.
