Case Study: World Bank Group improves road infrastructure data quality with Alteia

World Bank Group improves road infrastructure data quality 99% faster with Alteia

The World Bank Group, a major public organization, faced a significant challenge in assessing road infrastructure, as traditional ground-truth data collection was cost-prohibitive and could take up to two years to cover 25,000 km. To address this, they partnered with Alteia to develop a custom software application built on the Aether platform.

Alteia's solution utilized a combination of open-source and proprietary databases to construct a detailed national road network, automated the selection of relevant satellite data, and deployed machine learning models to extract road attributes. This approach enabled the World Bank Group to extract accurate insights from road networks at scale in developing countries. The project achieved a 90% reduction in cost and was completed 99% faster than traditional methods.
