City Pulse AI piggybacks on the routes already being driven by city waste trucks. Passive stereo cameras, running edge AI, detect infrastructure issues continuously, without adding a single kilometre to any vehicle's route.
Stereo cameras record the streetscape during regular collection routes
Faces & plates automatically removed on-device before transmission
AI models classify defect type, severity, and location
Structured intelligence delivered to council dashboard and TechOne
Computer vision models trained on real Australian road surfaces detect surface defects at the earliest stage of deterioration, before they become costly structural failures or liability incidents.
The platform identifies and geo-tags illegal dumping events and graffiti incidents as they appear, enabling council response in days, not months, and building a pattern record for enforcement action.
Especially critical in Southeast Queensland's subtropical environment, where a blocked drain missed before a rainfall event becomes a flooding incident. City Pulse surfaces drainage risk continuously.
City Pulse is not a standalone platform that requires behavioural change. It is a sensing and intelligence layer that feeds directly into the tools councils already use.
Stereo cameras and on-board compute mounted to fleet vehicles. Compact, weather-rated, passive.
Detection and redaction models run locally. Privacy is protected structurally. No raw footage is transmitted.
Structured events stored, geo-tagged, trended, and made available via dashboard and API.
Detected issues flow directly into TechnologyOne as work orders and asset records, with no manual re-entry.
City Pulse AI is building its initial deployment in partnership with JJ's Waste & Recycling, one of Australia's leading waste and recycling companies and the incumbent collector for major Southeast Queensland councils including the City of Gold Coast.
JJ's trucks already service thousands of streets across the region every week. City Pulse cameras ride along with no new vehicles, no new routes, and no operational cost to councils.
The carrier fee model means JJ's participates in the value created by the data their fleet generates, aligning commercial incentives with infrastructure quality.
We're currently accepting pilot applications with Queensland councils. Contact us to discuss what a City Pulse deployment would look like for your area.
