An improved method for evaluating pipe condition

The invention relates to a computer-implemented method, computer program, and device for evaluating pipe condition of pipe sections of a pipe network. To do so, the pipe sections are clustered into classes based on structural and environmental parameters; within each class a sample of pipe sections...

More Information
Summary:The invention relates to a computer-implemented method, computer program, and device for evaluating pipe condition of pipe sections of a pipe network. To do so, the pipe sections are clustered into classes based on structural and environmental parameters; within each class a sample of pipe sections are selected to be inspected. The scores that are obtained through the inspection are used to train a model of pipe conditions of pipes in a class, in order to estimate the pipe conditions of pipes that have not been inspected.
