The capital of Armenia is preparing to implement an intelligent urban environment monitoring system. Starting in 2026, a special vehicle equipped with lidar and a set of sensors designed for comprehensive analysis of the city's condition will begin circulating on the streets of Yerevan. This was announced by the Mayor of Yerevan, Tigran Avinyan, during a working meeting dedicated to digital development.
The vehicle will automatically record the quality of road surfaces, identify illegally placed advertising structures, and identify areas with accumulated household waste. A separate emphasis is placed on the use of artificial intelligence, which will be able to process visual data without the involvement of operators, reducing the burden on city services.
In addition, the project plans to use cameras already installed on municipal transport, including buses. Algorithms will analyze incoming images in real time and generate reports for the relevant departments of the Mayor's office. The authorities expect that this system will allow them to respond more quickly to problems, increase the transparency of control and reduce the cost of maintaining urban infrastructure.
