AI-powered smart signs for Worthing’s bathing waters
Smart signs which answer questions about bathing waters are now at Goring Beach, Worthing and Worthing Beach House.
The signs look like simple QR codes to be scanned with a mobile phone. But behind them is an artificial intelligence (AI) ready to share its knowledge with visitors about bathing water quality and any live issues.
The Hello Lamp Post technology, funded by the Environment Agency, is also keen to learn and will ask visitors about beach conditions like how many people are enjoying the water today or is there much seaweed present? This conversation builds a picture of site activity outside of the typical bathing water season and identifies issues that could be harming water quality like seagull or dog excrement.
