DM Roads plays it smart
Beachgoers who frequent Rye on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula will benefit from the installation of more than 500 sensors to monitor 650 parking spaces, 20 bins and four barbecue facilities, and notify council workers when they need to be attended to.
In September, our DM Roads business announced the exciting new partnership with the Mornington Peninsula Shire and RMIT to deliver the Rye Smart Cities trial.
The innovative trial will span 12 months, with the intention to expand to other beachside towns along the Mornington Peninsula.
