Using AI to optimise use of Freight Loading Docks
Transport for NSW has developed an Artificial Intelligence (AI) prototype that detects and matches vehicles entering and exiting freight facilities, car parks and loading docks.

The prototype uses algorithms on camera images to detect and classify objects using their shape. AI trains the algorithm to recognise objects using over 25,000 reference images.
The data translates into de-identified insights, used to improve the flow and use of freight facilities, parking and loading docks. The new technique improves the speed and reliability of information and replaces current manual survey methods used to record vehicles.
Insights assist with future planning, design and the development of major buildings and precincts. Better planning of these facilities' benefits place-making, environmental outcomes and freight efficiency.
