About TfNSW Project

The New South Wales network includes 6,800 route kilometres of operational rail lines and 17,600 km of state roads and highways.

As TfNSW strive for ‘A transport system that delivers every day for people and freight’, investment in increased monitoring has been identified as a key enabler to reduce losses associated to ‘preventable’ and reputational losses, as well as supply issues.

TfNSW recognises Earth Observation satellites as a valuable addition to the monitoring technologies currently deployed and was looking for innovation to automatically detect changing conditions of network and potential risk modelling. 

Spottitt provided AI-based geospatial analytics solution to monitor vegetation (and other) encroachment risks, change detection between monitoring passes as well as the generation of per asset growth rate predictions and fire load estimations. 

This digital monitoring solution, Spottitt Metrics Factory, operates fully remotely, can be deployed at scale and applicable for monitoring areas which are difficult to reach otherwise. It is a cost effective way for TfNSW to increase monitoring frequencies across their assets, detect and solve problems early on.
