Satellite-powered technology for safer, data-driven, and cost-efficient road maintenance.
ROAD System 365 is a GNSS- and AI-based infrastructure monitoring system developed to support cities and contractors in evaluating the real-time condition of cycle lanes, sidewalks, and road surfaces. Developed as part of the ESA BIC Nordic programme and validated in multiple pilot cities and labs, the solution addresses a critical gap in urban infrastructure maintenance—offering scalable, low-cost tools to replace manual inspections.
By equipping public authorities, transport departments, and engineering firms with actionable insights into pavement quality, vibration levels, and air pollution data, ROAD System improves decision-making around safety, repair priorities, and resource allocation. It is especially useful in the context of sustainable and active mobility planning, where infrastructure must be safe, resilient, and continuously evaluated at scale.

ROAD System 365 consists of a modular hardware kit (sensor box + mountable camera) and a connected cloud platform. The kit can be attached to bikes, scooters, maintenance vehicles or even citizens' smartphones (mobile-only version launching 2025). It collects georeferenced HD images, vibration and sound levels, and environmental data, which is then processed by computer vision and AI models to detect cracks, potholes, and surface irregularities.
The backend platform allows municipalities and consultants to visualize results, overlay hazard maps, and generate reports. All data is enriched by GNSS positioning (Galileo/EGNOS), enabling high spatial accuracy even in dense urban environments. The system integrates with GIS asset management and offers an API for engineering partners and city dashboards.
ROAD System 365 enables cities and contractors to move from fragmented inspections to continuous, data-driven infrastructure monitoring. It reduces operational costs, improves safety planning, and supports the transition to greener, more resilient mobility systems—making it an essential asset for any future-ready city.
