A schoolboy from Karaganda developed an app for finding potholes on roads

The digital project is being developed in collaboration with the Department of Informatization, Public Services, and Archives. The city monitoring system for road surfaces, "Zholkalai," will enable automatic detection of potholes on roads in the future.

The developer is Bakhyt Mumynov, a graduating student at the National School for Gifted Students (NIS). The project utilizes computer vision technology, identifying potholes through dashcams. Video data streams are obtained from patrol services and ambulances. This information is then displayed on a map, allowing municipal services to monitor road conditions in real time. The product is ready for a pilot launch in Karaganda.
