Brisbane Metro will introduce a fleet of battery-electric vehicles providing a high-capacity high-frequency service along 21 kilometres of dedicated busway.

The vehicles will be charged at several locations along the busway in dedicated charging bays. The layout of the charging bays at two locations requires approaching drivers to be provided with a visual indication of the bay availability. Council is seeking a hardware-software solution to monitor bay occupancy and display the status to drivers and network operators.

The minimal implementation of the solution (Minimum Viable Product) will involve basic detect-interpret-display functionality; however, Council is also seeking proposals for an optional enhanced solution that will integrate with external systems to send and receive selected data.
