Brimbank, VIC tests the use of 5G-connected devices on garbage trucks for asset mapping

Brimbank, VIC 5G Connected Garbage Trucks Asset Mapping

In Progress

Brimbank and Swinburne University of Technology attached stereo vision cameras to waste collection vehicles. Each system gathers 3D imagery on street assets including road signs, curbs, and bus stops. A cloud platform evaluates real-time images for necessary repairs. Maintenance teams receive notifications from the platform and submit work orders on their phones. This technology creates an automated and reliable process for identifying maintenance needs.
