How your local garbage truck is helping fix south-east Queensland's pothole problems
Garbage trucks and artificial intelligence are being used to tackle south-east Queensland's mammoth pothole problem, following weeks of floods and heavy rain.
Moreton Bay Regional Council, north of Brisbane, has been using cameras on garbage trucks to track potholes and report them back for repair.
Mayor Peter Flannery said the system was working well, with the region's roads being repaired faster after the recent floods.
"There's potholes all across our region at the moment … it's not due to lack of maintenance, it's just the weather we've had, the amount of rain we've had," he said.
