Hi-tech vehicle
THERE will be a strange hi-tech van driving the streets of Noosa over the next couple of weeks and residents are warned not to panic.
The state-of-the-art van is being used by Noosa Council to record the condition of local sealed roads.
The Automatic Road Analyser (ARAN) vehicle can capture information about the pavement surface and uses military-designed systems and special equipment to log road condition data.
The van will travel Noosa roads for the next two weeks and council is asking road users to be patient if they come across the ARAN vehicle as it can sometimes travel slowly.
