Inspection of road networks is time and cost consuming. Over half of the money allocated for road maintenance are spent on this area. Visual inspection is still the most commonly employed way of inspection for most parts of the road network. The sheer amount of lane miles of the road network renders this type of road monitoring a costly process. The ultimate goal of this paper is to reduce the time and cost needed to perform routine drive-by, visual and conditional data capturing. The road inspector devotes effort to visually capture the great number of the road assets as it consists of capturing of both the geometry and condition of multiple road assets. In this paper, we propose a method to capture road drainage covers through images and assess if they could potentially be blocked or not. This proposed novel framework focuses on two main tasks: a) localisation of road drainage b) assessment of drainage condition (if they are clean or not). This solution uses Speeded up Robust Features (SURF) and Scale Invariant Feature Form (SIFT) detector, the Bag of Visual Words (BoVW) enhanced with k-means algorithms for grouping the features, and a Support Vector Machine classifier for classifying the data to their respective categories.

UK buildings and energy infrastructures are heavily dependent on natural gas, a large proportion of which is used for space heating. Much of the UKs’ gas is imported, therefore a wholesale shift in energy provision is required in order to meet government targets for reducing carbon emissions and improving energy security, without impacting on thermal comfort levels, convenience or cost of supply to the end user. Heat pumps are a potential alternative for modern well insulated homes, however this is not necessarily true of a large proportion of British housing stock which was built prior to 1919. Increasing energy efficiency of older properties remains a significant challenge, which cannot be achieved through insulation and air-tightness interventions alone. This paper investigates the energy demand of pre-1919 dwellings using a holistic surveying approach to provide a more accurate assessment of total household heat demand, and reports on the analysis of eight properties. This information is used to assess the feasibility of using water from disused mine workings to supply a heat pump based, district heat network. The use of renewable solar energy generation and storage technologies, to reduce the heat load and offset increased electricity demand, are also considered.
