Smarter road maintenance with real time data from connected vehicles.

Winter conditions naturally pose a unique set of challenges. Enter Winter Road Insights – a solution giving road operators access to real-time friction data, providing a clear picture of what the situation is actually like out there. Data is stored historically, enabling the first ever performance measurement system for winter maintenance.

The four components for winter maintenance in Winter Road Insights:

Follow-up

Performance evaluation

Live Network Status

Slipperiness Alert

Cost-effective, high quality, winter road maintenance requires effective tools for road surface forecasting and action-planning as well as effective methods for follow-up. If you do not measure it, you cannot improve it. Whether it is to improve cost, service, or efficiency. Winter road insights makes winter measurable!

Follow-up

Winter Road Insights provides reliable feedback for following up winter maintenance. Crucial for enhancing operations, ensuring efficient prioritization and validating contracts with road maintenance suppliers.

KPIs & Historical Evaluation

In continuous improvement work, comparing outcomes between methods is vital. Winter Road Insights utilizes extensive friction and weather data collected by vehicle fleets to provide essential tools. This enables the creation of a universal KPI for evaluating winter road maintenance effectiveness. It stands out as the first true performance evaluation system for winter maintenance and road safety, offering retrospective analysis capabilities and effective KPI utilization.

Live Network Status

Live Network Status provides real-time road condition updates, aiding immediate action and preemptive measures through citizen alerts or road maintenance instructions. Data processed from passenger cars allows for resource-efficient allocation and instant deviation detection. This system aids in accident prevention and increased traffic flow resulting in major cost savings for the society. With NIRA's real-time friction measurements, low friction areas are promptly identified regardless of weather forecast accuracy.

Alerts

Time is crucial: reducing the response time to a hazardous situation by just 10 minutes significantly decreases the likelihood of accidents. Typically, accidents occur within 30-90 minutes after slippery conditions are detected. WRI Alerts swiftly send high-confidence regional notifications via text or email as soon as roads become slippery, prompting immediate action to address or prevent dangerous road conditions. The alerting service aims to draw winter maintenance operators' attention when action is necessary, ensuring confidence in road conditions. Furthermore, the alerts system reassures winter maintenance staff that they will be alerted to hazardous road situations, even if they are not at the operations center or are on call.
