It is the largest event entirely dedicated to smart mobility and digitalization of transport, organized by ERTICO – ITS Europe. For over 80 years, Vaisala's technology has guided decision-making in weather-critical industries. Vaisala road weather solutions monitor roadways for specific parameters you need to know, to take action or warn travelers. All decisions, whether human or automated, are based on accurate and reliable measurement data, so ensuring your road weather data is key. Welcome to meet with our Road Weather Experts at the ITS European Congress. You can find us at the ITS-Finland Pavilion, stand 0.15! Vaisala's experts will give presentations during the event - welcome to learn more! At the Commercial Theatre, June 5, Session 10:30-11:30: Markus Melander: Automated pavement defect mapping and road lane marking condition analysis At the ITS Finland stand 0.15, June 4: Daniel Johns: Accurate and Timely Situational Awareness - The Vital Ingredient to Smarter Solutions John Poole: ITS solution needs quality data - Road health monitoring from anonymized street videos Locate 51.4435695, 5.4468691
Mobile Detector for Road Surface State Vaisala Mobile Detector MD30 monitors road conditions and transmits weather data — surface surface state, grip, relative humidity, dew point and road and air temperature — from snow plows or any vehicle without disruption and works well as a standalone sensor or to help fill in data between stationary weather stations.
RoadAI - AI powered mobile data collection system RoadAI provides solutions to the most difficult challenges organizations are facing related to infrastructure management, efficiency of operations, and improving and maintaining roadway safety. RoadAI provides a simple and cost-effective solution for obtaining up-to-date quality GIS data to support planning and maintenance of road networks, and for assessment and coordination of preventive maintenance of road defects, assets and conditions.
Air Quality - Let's make our cities breathable Poor air quality is the most serious environmental health issue globally and the primary driving force for ambient air quality monitoring. Currently available reference-grade air quality monitoring stations provide accurate data, but the networks are sparse. New technologies make it possible to complement the existing measurements with compact air quality sensors.
