Road Perception
Knowledge about road conditions – such as road friction and roughness, speedbumps and potholes – can enable both safer and more efficient travel. For autonomous vehicles this knowledge will of course be a necessity. (Just imagine a self-driving car cruising a highway not knowing that the road is slippery). What’s more, knowledge about road conditions can also help make road maintenance more efficient and environmentally-friendly, from salting and ploughing to mending potholes. This is what Road Perception is all about – making our roads safer for everybody – and NIRA Dynamics have just the software solutions you need.
Tire Grip Indicator
Having driven “to the moon and back” – twenty times – from the desert heat of Death Valley to the blistering cold of northern Sweden, using more than 20 000 different tires, we’ve learnt a thing or two about road friction. With Tire Grip Indicator, all that experience will be yours – in a cost efficient, easy-to-implement software solution.
Road Surface Information
RSI gathers vital road surface information through advanced sensor fusion, and provides both descriptive and predictive analyses of the road status.
Road Maintenance
As a contractor, you already know about Road Weather Information Systems (RWIS), and they’ve surely helped you plan your measures in the past. But, while they can tell you the weather, what they will not do is estimate the amount of residual salt on the road surface. And they won’t alert you to the ice patches on that particular shadowy stretch behind the trees, either.
