Researchers with @UTGoodSystems are helping @austintexasgov incorporate innovation into decision-making and think about how AI can be used to manage roads, bridges and more.
Says Marc Coudert w/ the City’s Office of Resilience: “Good Systems…helped us connect things that we never would have connected before and think of new ways of designing cities and new ways of maintaining cities going forward.”
