• Abstract: We propose how a developing country like Sri Lanka can benefit from privacy-enabled machine learning techniques such as Federated Learning to detect road conditions using crowd-sourced data collection and proposed the idea of implementing a Digital Twin for the national road system in Sri Lanka. Developing countries such as Sri Lanka are far behind in implementing smart road systems and smart cities compared to the developed countries. The proposed work discussed in this paper matches the UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 9: "Build Resilient Infrastructure, Promote Inclusive and Sustainable Industrialization and Foster Innovation". Our proposed work discusses how the government and private sector vehicles that conduct routine trips to collect crowd-sourced data using smartphone devices to identify the road conditions and detect where the potholes, surface unevenness (roughness), and other major distresses are located on the roads. We explore Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) techniques that can bring machine learning intelligence closer to the edge devices where produced data is stored and show how the applications of Federated Learning can be made to detect and improve road conditions. During the second phase of this study, we plan to implement a Digital Twin for the road system in Sri Lanka. We intend to use data provided by both Dedicated and Non-Dedicated systems in the proposed Digital Twin for the road system. As of writing this paper, and best to our knowledge, there is no Digital Twin system implemented for roads and other infrastructure systems in Sri Lanka. The proposed Digital Twin will be one of the first implementations of such systems in Sri Lanka. Lessons learned from this pilot project will benefit other developing countries who wish to follow the same path and make data-driven decisions.
