Carpentaria, QLD partners with LGAQ Lab on AI-powered system for road flooding detection
The state's innovation lab developed an AI supervisor tool for the shire's flood camera network. This tool monitors real-time footage and sends email alerts to designated council officers when roads are threatened. Carpentaria previously sent officers to identify flooding in outlying areas, thus requiring drives of up to 10 hours. The pilot provides a blueprint for other Queensland councils and determines other uses of the supervisor for Carpentaria's operations.
