“In my 25+ years in public works and government, I have seen technology evolve from being clunky and a nuisance to now where efficiencies are improved and reliance on human resources is going away.<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

The combination of autonomous vehicles and artificial intelligence is making the process of inspections near autonomous. There is currently technology that can replace code compliance and infrastructure <\/p>\n

inspections. A vehicle can travel around a city and be programmed to identify anomalies and report <\/p>\n

them back. A human may be required to verify footage on a desktop, but most of the work would be <\/p>\n

automated. Even without automated vehicles this technology can be affixed to trash trucks, which <\/p>\n

traverse a city at least twice a week. If code compliance wanted to identify vehicles without a current <\/p>\n

registration that are parked on the street, they could do this. If public works wanted every roadkill <\/p>\n

possum identified, the technology exists.<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

Police departments have been using technology in the form of redlight and speeding cameras for <\/p>\n

years. These cameras can crank out hundreds of violations an hour and on person sitting at a desk can verify them. License plate readers are common in Florida. These readers are tied into real time crime <\/p>\n

centers that track criminals across city lines. The cities integrate these centers to assist each other in <\/p>\n

apprehending criminals. The use of drones is replacing law enforcement helicopters for surveillance.<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

Water and sewer treatment plants are becoming nearly automated. They still require an operator to <\/p>\n

man them, but they are doing less labor and more key punching and observing.<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

With these advances in technology have come opportunities for hacking and taking over operations. <\/p>\n

Utility plants have recently become a target for hackers and terrorists. They hack into the system and <\/p>\n

can change chemical dosing. Hackers are stealing personal information from agencies and <\/p>\n

demanding ransoms. So, with technology comes different challenges. Instead of hiring more field staff, cities are hiring cybersecurity and IT personnel to keep up with the hackers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
