The ITS Australia NextGens are thrilled to partner with platinum member Main Roads Western Australia for the inaugural episode of our Outback ITS Webinar Series!
These bite-sized presentations will put the spotlight on an application of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) in regional and remote areas across the nation, highlighting the unique challenges and innovations required to deliver these solutions.
Main Roads, in conjunction with Telstra and Australian technology company Attentis, has recently deployed a remote real-time floodway monitoring system. This is an initiative identified under the WA’s ITS Master Plan within the Regional Resilience area of focus. The system provides 24-hour unmanned monitoring of floodway conditions at each location and instant notification (email and SMS) when flooding is occurring in real-time, allowing Main Roads staff to access the cameras remotely to verify live conditions and help make incident management decisions regarding road access and communications.
The webinar will include a live demo of the Floodway Monitoring System, showcasing how it supports remote asset monitoring, assists in early warning, promotes remote operational efficiencies and improves staff, road and public safety.
This is
a great opportunity for all transport professionals to hear about a new and
exciting ITS project that is up and running in rural Western Australia.
