Qteq

Qteq's disaster management platform is built on CT's IoT platform engine, which accommodates a wide range of IoT devices and provides data analysis, live-streaming camera hosting and recording, intelligent alerting and reports on data from remote field sensors.

This allowed Qteq to integrate its intelligent sensor and camera systems into CT's platform and deliver advanced situational awareness that can alert communities prone to the impacts of weather events.

The partnership has helped Qteq deliver live-streaming situational awareness cameras across council areas in New South Wales and Queensland, and analyse data from in-field sensors, combined with Bureau of Meteorology data, to accurately predict the flooding of roadways. The system reduces flood risk and damage by automatically triggering flood warning signs based on water-level data, and informing authorities before severe damage is done.

The platform played an important role in supporting Qteq's disaster management systems during the floods caused by Cyclone Tiffany across parts of Queensland.

Integrated cameras installed across the areas of Douglas Regional Council and Fraser Coast Regional Council picked up the early signs of rising water, alerting and supporting local authorities. The data feeds sent to the platform activated warning signs to restrict people from moving near flood-prone roads.
