World-First School Safety Invention Wins Top Award for SenSen

An Australian invention that turns ordinary street poles into a child safety monitoring network at school times has been recognised by one of the nation’s leading urban infrastructure peak bodies.

The road safety benefits of the system, which works by inserting a smart camera and solar panel into street poles at school zones, has been praised by parents, educators and local councils.

The system has been pioneered by Sunshine Coast Council in Queensland, Australia, one of the fastest growing municipalities in the country. SenSen modelling indicates the addressable market for this solution exceeds $10M per annum in Australia alone.

The system was developed and built by leading tech company SenSen which adapted its Live Awareness AI cameras and software to align with the concerns heard from community engagement on the Sunshine Coast.

The result is enhanced child safety during school drop-off and pick-up times by alerting drivers to poor behaviour and using video evidence to change their road practices.

For Sunshine Coast Council, the award recognises a commitment to child safety at a time of rapid population growth putting pressure on infrastructure and services. This is precisely where technology can augment human decision making to improve the quality of life of residents and citizens.
