As part of the Strategic Asset Management Plan, Council is trialling smart sensor technology to improve how it monitors and maintains public assets. The goal is to use timely information to plan maintenance earlier, respond to issues faster and improve service delivery.
The trial uses long-range wireless sensors (LoRaWAN) at Cleveland Point to track utilisation. The sensors provide information about patterns of use and potential maintenance needs—helping Council plan whole-of-life asset management.
The technology is intended to avoid collecting identifiable information from members of the public.
Redland City Council – Accountable for the trial and how the data is used under the Strategic Asset Management Plan.
Supports the development of future plans or; to enable or measure the impact of a decision.
An electronic sensor that measures infrared (IR) light radiating from objects in its field of view.
Uses ultrasonic waves to measure distances to objects. The sensor emits an ultrasonic wave and receives the wave reflected back from the object. The distance is calculated using the time between emission and reception.
Data that is stored in a table, where values are stored in rows and columns.
Measurements that are collected at regular intervals over a period of time.
Data that has been grouped or summarized from individual measurements, for example to count up totals or to calculate an average.
Data has been encoded so that only authorized parties can access it, which can reduce risk related to handling private or sensitive information.
Data is available to the accountable organization.
Data is available to the data collection or technology provider.
Data is stored for the trial period, and after this time period is deleted.
Data is stored on behalf of the organization or the data collector in an offsite data centre, such as Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure.
