Smart Cities
Smart cities, thriving communities. Connected, efficient, sustainable.
Rich analytics for metropolitan, rural, recreation, public spaces and park areas
Public spaces and amenities are the connection points between cities, councils, and communities.
To manage local wellbeing, councils need to meet rising expectations for safe, clean, and convenient experiences. Smart CityDeck is an end-to-end Internet of Things (IoT) solution designed for cities,
councils, and other locations open to the public. With sensors and devices, network and
connectivity, data processing, and a user application, Smart CityDeck is a complete IoT solution. Cameras to provide deeper insights into various aspects of Airport operations and assets, both indoors and outdoors, within and beyond the airport premises.
Using the Smart CityDeck app, councils can make educated real-time decisions to immediately
respond to issues and maintain assets efficiently, while collecting data to provide information for
long term planning, including capacity and usage information.
traffic monitoring
Walk the walk
Through sensors integrated in pavement/roads, customers will be able to gain real-time updates on traffic flow. This can aid councils and governments to adjust traffic and pedestrian lights where traffic is heavy to help alleviate the flow.
Traffic trends such as peak hour traffic times can also be established by the data derived from these sensors used to help create a solution to ease congestion. With the same sensors, pedestrian counting can be monitored. This will assist councils when assessing if amenities need to be relooked at – if bathrooms need to be cleaned more often, if playgrounds need more maintenance, etc.
Real-time environment monitoring
Through sensors installed in public spaces, councils can monitor air conditions and current air quality index rating, temperature, as well as the noise level (decibels) in certain areas.
Through this, new zones can be introduced to lower these levels in the city. Monitoring indoor air quality (IAQ) in public and government buildings can alert staff of unsafe pollutant levels to ensure the safety of the public.

Pothole & Roadside Detection
Fit out existing council vehicles including Garbage trucks and other council owned Ute’ trucks and similar vehicles with 365mesh detection system to monitor and alert the following:
Detect potholes
Automatically detect and identify road potholes using either fixed, mobile or in-vehicle cameras.
Pothole locations are marked and automatically logged into council maintenance systems for road maintenance/repair scheduling.
Roadside vegetation logging – Weed detection
Detect obnoxious weeds, log their precise location, and automatically send video footage to maintenance teams for verification and further action in accordance with council requirements.
Roadside dumping detection
Detect roadside waste (such as whitegoods and furniture), fallen trees, damaged street signs and potholes, and provide roadside views either on a daily or weekly basis.
The roadside views will be collected using vehicle-borne sensors that capture images of roads and the surroundings. Images are then processed through our 365mesh algorithms.
Combat illegal dumping
Using advanced technology to assist Councils, we discreetly mount 360- degree cameras in moving vehicles (such as bin collection trucks) or around known dumping hotspots. These cameras detect illegally disposed items and activities (even in low light and poor visibility) and collect custom information such as vehicle number plates. Trained with AI and ML, our solution aims to help councils detect and identify illegal dumping and to act accordingly with the data and video evidence collected.
Detect litter for enhanced safety
Detect litter and dumping on the side of footpaths, roads and tracks such as abandoned trolleys, mattresses and other items that could create safety obstructions in roads and railways and alert the maintenance/operational teams.
Keep track of utility monitoring
Smart CityDeck offers automated remote readings for comprehensive utility monitoring. Track electrical meters across residents and businesses in real-time, whether as individual units or as part of a whole system. This solution significantly reduces the need for council staff to perform manual meter inspections, enhancing efficiency and accuracy in utility management.
Smart lighting
Minimise energy wastage through the use of smart lighting. Our sensors monitor pedestrian traffic and light up or dim lights accordingly to when someone walks into the vicinity – lights are dimmed to keep a low level of light until movement is detected whereupon it lights up fully. This tracking will reduce the need of electrical power and save on costings.
Smarter Streets, Safer Communities.
Advanced Analytics for Security and Theft Detection
Video surveillance can monitor how people use facilities and understand when and where there are any risks of harm. With minimal disruption, a surveillance capability can improve safety, deter crime, and reduce risk.
- 24×7 Cloud based advanced surveillance with rich analytics to monitor council assets, depots, parks, campsites and other locations such as remote bathroom amenities.
- Besides video surveillance, our solution uses audible detection of glass breaking or similar noises.
- Close monitoring after hours for theft or activity around council buildings and other selected assets.

Have visibility over unauthorised building activity
Effortlessly monitor extensive areas, from large territories to entire states, for unauthorised building activity. Our Smart CityDeck technology performs daily, weekly, or monthly scans of maps, detecting any changes and promptly reporting building activities to the council.
Intelligent Cloud-Based Video Surveillance with advanced AI/ML capabilities
Broadsecure provides public spaces and smart cities with comprehensive surveillance over their environment and has the ability to detect and track people, and objects accurately. Broadsecure can also differentiate between individuals, recognise faces, identify suspicious behaviour, analyse patterns around people flow and movements, detect abnormal activities and raise alerts to the security management team.
Mapping the pulse of a rapidly urbanising world
As urbanisation, climate change and economic restructuring directs the approach to smart cities in Australia and globally, Smart CityDeck and its advanced data collection and real-time remote monitoring assists users, like councils and urban developers, to strategically design, monitor and manage cities, allowing them to make educated decisions when planning for the future.
On a global scale, according to the World Bank, 50% of the world’s population today live in urban cities, and by 2045, it is expected that these global populations will increase to 1.6 billion people, where 70% of these people will inhabit cities.
This means that councils, leaders and planners need to start building future-ready cities to provide services, infrastructure and housing to meet the needs of the growing urban areas. As these initiatives exponentially develop, there is no doubt that Australia is committed to a technologies first approach and leveraging IoT technologies like Smart CityDeck to better manage and understand the precincts they build.
Urban Development and Transformation
Urban Development
Environment Monitoring
Designing smart cities is a complex procedure, especially when developers are not aware of how the existing environment can affect the design, and how the design may affect the environment. Smart CityDeck’s environmental monitoring features gives developers the ability to gain visibility and allows them to design the precinct to adapt to the changing environment in the future.
Weather Stations
Our weather stations accurately measure and monitor the site’s weather conditions, such as rainfall, temperature, humidity and wind. With this data, design issues like severe wind tunnels can be avoided, and monitoring the water flow and pressure of creeks flowing through sites will help developers determine the impact of natural water sources to the development.
Thermal heat cameras on site can measure the ground temperature at different points and ascertain the impact of the development on the surface and reflected heat caused by the construction.
With huge implications for irrigation, we deployed our soil monitoring solution which monitors the moisture and temperature of the site’s soil to make sure the land sustains a suitable condition.
The on-site safety is vital for developers and can be challenging to manage on large scales.
Temperature monitoring is used to monitor the temperature created by demolition, machinery use and heated weather circumstances, making sure construction work conditions comply with agreed parameters, like restrictions for builders to work when the temperature exceeds past an agreed safe working point, or awareness of delays caused by inclement weather; our vehicle trackers on construction machinery tracks the asset’s location, and in the event of a rollover, sends an alert so the incident can be promptly attended to.
Worksite Health & Safety and PPE Detection
Building Cities, Safeguarding Lives
Urban developers must prioritise worksite safety monitoring to protect workers, ensure regulatory compliance, and maintain project timelines. In densely populated urban environments, the risks associated with construction activities are amplified due to limited space, high foot traffic, and complex infrastructure.
Effective safety monitoring helps prevent accidents, injuries, and costly delays by identifying hazards in real-time and ensuring adherence to safety protocols. As urban development accelerates, robust safety monitoring becomes essential for sustainable, efficient, and ethical construction practices.
Councils and urban developers utilise Greenmesh’s advanced AI and machine learning, as well as purpose built sensors to reduce worksite accidents and fatalities by providing early detection and warnings of potential high risk accidents before they occur.
Digital Twin
While the concept of a Digital Twin has a very futuristic ring to it, it is rapidly becoming a practical and essential tool in daily airport operations.
Digital Twins create virtual models of physical objects, such as assets or facilities, serving as digital counterparts to their real-world equivalents.
. These virtual models offer the opportunity to better understand and predict outcomes, utilising real-time data to inform decision-making, optimise products, and reduce operational costs.
- Safety simulations and employee training: allowing employees to train in a safe, controlled environment or familiarise themselves with sites before physically visiting. Employees can use the digital model to learn safety protocols and gain a thorough understanding of their tasks.
- Real-time Insights with Live Sensor Data: by integrating live sensor data, Digital Twins provide 3D remote monitoring and automation, streamlining daily operations and enhancing efficiency across the board.
- Forecast scenarios: mirroring of a physical equivalent, enabling simulations to ensure system performance and optimisation, and visualising strategies on the screen.
- Predictive maintenance: predicting potential issues within the system, identifying problems before they escalate. The digital twin will highlight specific elements of the system needing attention, directing the focus of maintenance staff, and ultimately, reducing overall system downtime.
- Complete visibility: replicates the real system in 3D, providing real-time, dynamic views both locally and remotely. This ensures critical decisions are made quickly, offering transparency into system operations, such as baggage handling, and enabling operators to monitor performance seamlessly.
- Improved Decision-Making: By offering full system visibility, the Digital Twin enables faster, more informed decisions. It eliminates siloed, slow, or reactive approaches, fostering collaboration among all stakeholders with a unified, holistic view of the system.
