Movewise: a predictive traffic platform
An AI traffic platform for a growing city — ML traffic counting, accident heat maps, forecasting, and AI-assisted traffic assessment for building approvals.
Client
Willoughby City Council
Product
Movewise, an AI-powered traffic platform
AI role
Count, map, forecast, and assess traffic conditions
Recognition
Winner, 2026 Chatswood AI Hackathon
Council moved from reactive traffic management to a predictive operating view — live monitoring, accident hotspots, and forecasts that also feed long-term town planning.
Project record
Business context
As Chatswood's population density rises, traffic flow gets harder to manage. Council needed to understand current conditions, anticipate congestion and accidents, and factor traffic impact into building approvals.
System delivered
A machine-learning traffic counter and an accident heat map, combined with historical analysis and time-series forecasting — a live picture and a forecast in one platform.
AI-assisted traffic assessment for building approvals, so the impact of new development is considered inside the approval workflow rather than after the fact.
The system
The hard part
Connecting day-to-day traffic operations with long-horizon town planning in a single operating view, on public-sector data and public-sector accountability.
Human controls
The platform informs; Council decides. Assessments and forecasts support planners and approval officers — they don't replace them.
