Australian Artificial intelligence solutions provider, SenSen Networks Ltd (ASX: SNS) has today announced it has been awarded a ~A$2.5M tender with the City of Las Vegas to provide a range of intelligent transportation and smart city solutions. The agreement will support the City of Las Vegas’ goal to become a true Smart City by 2025.

SenSen’s technology will be used to assist the City of Las Vegas in keeping roads safe and congestion free by automating the enforcement of hundreds of bylaws associated with regulating traffic and parking on city streets.

The initial deal, which will be rolled out later this year, will see the introduction and management of two SenForce mobile parking enforcement units and 80 of its Gemineye mobile units. The ultra-portable nature of the Gemineye solution means units can be deployed across enforcement vehicles and car parks, as well as segways, Go4 scooters and city officers.

Commenting on the Contract win, SenSen CEO, Dr Subhash Challa, said,

“SenSen is extremely proud to be working with the City of Las Vegas. Las Vegas is a flagship US city and SenSen is excited to be providing its world-leading AI and video analytics expertise in improving the amenity of the City’s citizens by helping reduce traffic congestion and efficiently manage its parking.”

“This is a major milestone for our business in the US. We expect operations will continue to grow as more and more forward-thinking cities seek Smart City intelligent transportation solutions.”

The contract marks the first commercial rollout of SenSen technology with a flagship US city customer, while the 80 Gemineye units to be deployed as part of the contract is the largest commercial implementation with a single SenSen customer to date. The City of Las Vegas, is on track to become a Smart City by 2025 with SenSen assisting with its intelligent transportation systems and smart technology.

The City of Las Vegas is an internationally renowned major resort and entertainment city, with over 42 million visitors annually. It is the most populous city in the State of Nevada, USA and serves as the leading financial, commercial and cultural centre for the State.

Consider adopting these simple skip hire etiquettes and you shouldn’t have any problems with your neighbors:

Talk To Your Neighbors Prior to Hire a Skip:

You should talk to the people next to your door and inform them you are going to look for local skip hire. Of course there is no need for you to do this, but is a polite way to follow. Explain everything about the skip to your neighbors – where you are going to place the skip, how long it’s likely to be there etc. Also tell them about your ideal to minimize the disruption that your skip might create.

Think About the Place Where You Want to Place Your Skip:

You should consider the positioning of the skip bins prior to hire a skip. Think where you will place your skip. Do you have enough places in your backyard to place the skip? Or are you planning to place the skip on the road outside your home? If you are thinking to place the skip on the road, consider whether this will have any effect on your neighbors as well. Check whether it would disrupt their view of road while driving or whether it will cause some other type of disruption in the road. Discuss with your neighbors about where the skip is likely to go to prevent any future problems.

Don’t Overload the Skip:

A rule for filling the skip with waste is to never cross the fill line. The load you put into the skip has to be secure and you should never overfill the skip beyond the fill line. If you stack too many items into the skip, this could spill over into the road causing a disruption for the neighbors as well as for the approaching motorists.

Actually, it is very easy to be tempted to overload your skip, especially when you want to save your money. However, the major problem that an overloaded skip may lead to is that it becomes very heavy to transport safely. The skip hire companies mainly use trucks to collect your skip and they lift back the skip into their truck. A heavy skip can damage the truck or permanently damage the mechanisms of the operatives.

Also, skips that overloads, can be a safety hazard for your neighborhood. During the disposal and transportation, the overloaded garbage could fall or shift, which can harm other drivers or the pedestrians.

A good skip hire company, however, can help you understand the right process of filling a skip and can actually help you get rid of unwanted problems.
