This trial allows high-definition cameras to be mounted to refuse collection vehicles and by deploying innovative intelligent software will identify road surface problems before they become potholes. The trial recently won an award for the best use of new technology in the highways sector.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 29/11/2017 17:21:05 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
