In 2019, Gaist undertook a national project to provide the most thorough understanding yet of the condition of road markings, by harnessing artificial intelligence (AI) technology to analyse hundreds of thousands of miles of road markings on the national network.
The original assessment covered all classified roads in England. From 2019-2023, Gaist substantially increased its national databank of roadscape imagery. Much of this additional data is based on local authority networks, covering all calssifications of roads. The 2023 report supplements the original national assessment with further valuable information about road markings within the context of local roads.
The work was been commissioned on behalf of the Department for Transport via the Road Asset Management Framework (RAMS).
