📋 Tender Overview
Transport for NSW is continuing a program to install machine learning traffic cameras across New South Wales, with the state’s north and west to benefit from the technology.
The Transport for NSW trial will use state of the art counting and classifying cameras to better understand freight movements to help reduce congestion, improve road safety outcomes, and encourage more efficient deliveries.
The technology is seen as another tool that can be used to help manage increasing freight volumes, which are expected to increase across NSW by 28per cent by 2036 over a 2018 baseline.
The new cameras will be installed at the following locations:
Castlereagh Hwy, Lightning Ridge
Carnarvon Hwy, Moree
Gwydir Hwy, Glen Innes
New England Hwy, Tenterfield
Bengalla Rd, Bengalla
John Renshaw Dr, Buttai
John Renshaw Dr, Buchanan
High-definition pictures of heavy vehicles are taken by the cameras, which are then classified into the type of vehicle in transit and the type of cargo being transported.
This heavy vehicle traffic information will enable Transport for NSW to better understand freight movements with the aim of assisting long-term planning for the movement of goods in NSW.
The cameras are not used for enforcement.
