you can’t get anything better than garbage trucks
Supported by $1.18 million in funding from the federal government’s Australian 5G Innovation Initiative, the project that commenced in November 2021 will run until the end of September, analysing data from 900km of road within the Brimbank Council area.
The project is equipping 13 garbage trucks operated by Melbourne council of Brimbank with high resolution stereo vision cameras and GPS sensors, with the data sent to a Cloud-based system for analysis to identify assets on the road or road signs that require maintenance. This helps the council create a map of jobs, such as fixing broken road signs, graffitied bus shelters or damaged roads in real-time.
The Initiative provides businesses with funding to trial and test applications that demonstrate 5G’s capability and benefits across a range of industry
