CASE STUDY RESOURCE

Your Streets. Your Data. Your Move.

Wollongong, Brisbane, Transport for NSW, and Toronto Parking Authority ran one platform against four very different problems. This 6-page case study shows exactly what each council got back.

170 km GIS spec captured in a single pass
54,800+ pavement defects classified by severity
5,500 kerbside unaccounted assets surfaced

Your Streets. Your Data. Your Move.


The Council Reality

Every council have the same challenges. Behind on the asset register, reacting instead of planning, spending heavy on audits, and not getting the resolution they need back.

1

Asset register is not up-to-date.

Traditional manual auditing was time-consuming, expensive, and produced data that was outdated by the time collection was complete.

2

The kerbside has drifted.

Pay stations, signage, hydrants, kerb cuts — assets get added, replaced, removed. Without a current inventory, capital planning runs on guesswork.

3

Officers are walking where they should be driving.

Manual compliance routes mean slow coverage, exposure to confrontation, and a thin layer of enforcement across the LGA.

4

Maintenance is loud, not strategic.

A pothole gets reported, a pothole gets fixed. Meanwhile, thousands of other defects sit with teams, still waiting for attention.

Street intelligence that holds up.

SenMAP is the intelligence layer that uses live video to scan and identify city assets — parking meters, street signs, advertising signage, fire hydrants, even bikes and scooters parked on kerbs — and compile them into a digital asset system with location and characteristics attached.

$

Digital Twin

Capture every sign, asset and kerbside object across your network. Receive it council-ready, in the format your asset systems and GIS already accept. No reformatting. No manual handoff. Pick the capture surface that fits the council.

Vehicle Mounted

Any standard council vehicle. Set up in under 10 minutes — drive your network as part of normal rounds.

Mobile Device via Proprietary App

Targeted streets, blackspots and pedestrian areas that vehicles cannot reach.

Pole Insertable

Pole-insertable fixed monitoring for continuous coverage of priority zones.

Existing Camera/Video Feed

Zero new hardware. Use what is already mounted on streetlights, intersections and council buildings.

Asset Conditioning & Detection

The same data feeds a continuous detection layer that watches for change. 40+ categories out of the box, trainable for anything the council needs that isn't on the list.

Pavement Defects

Cracks, potholes, rutting. Ranked by severity and dispatched to maintenance teams in order.

Sign Condition

Faded, damaged or reduced-retro-reflectivity signs flagged before drivers report them.

Compliance Breaches

Advertising signage, parking violations and illegal use surfaced from existing camera coverage.

Public Hazards

Illegal dumping, overgrowth and abandoned vehicles caught on routine drives, not complaints.

Four deployments, one playbook.

SenMAP is the intelligence layer that uses live video to scan and identify city assets — parking meters, street signs, advertising signage, fire hydrants, even bikes and scooters parked on kerbs — and compile them into a digital asset system with location and characteristics attached.

Four Customer Spotlights

Wollongong, Toronto Parking Authority, Brisbane, and TfNSW - what challenges they lived and how it was solved - with stats and outcomes.

Sign Register Rebuilt

Whole LGA captured in one pass. Delivered in the council's exact GIS spec, loaded straight into existing asset systems. Now expanding into road-asset baselining.

Condition data

Pavement defects classified by severity, GPS-tagged and loaded directly into Council systems. Maintenance budget directed to the worst defects — not the loudest complaints.

THE DIFFERENCE

The audit ends. The data keeps coming.

Most audits stop when the deliverable lands. SenMAP stays connected to council systems and keeps refreshing in the background.

Capture without lock-in.

Existing video feed, handheld, vehicle, or pole, whichever surface the council already has. No new fleet to fund.

Lands inside existing systems.

GIS, asset management, finance, dashboards. Bi-directional REST APIs and webhooks — not flat exports.

Outlives the procurement cycle.

Expanding scope on the same stack. No fresh tender every time the question changes.

Every deployment moved from a one-off audit to ongoing access — the platform stays connected to council systems and keeps refreshing in the background. The full story, council by council, is in the case study.
