garsd® ENVIRONMENTALHELIOSINTELLIGENCE PLATFORM
Fast and accurate real-time ground weather analytics
Know the weather on the ground at all times and make better decisions. Helios
environmental intelligence analytics from NV5 Geospatial detects the occurrence ofground weather road conditions and impacts to critical ground infrastructure. It uses
existing traffic and surveillance camera networks and can also be deployed to use
vehicle camera data. Helios provides alerts for changing conditions to support weather
forecasting, emergency response and vehicle safety.
Helios sees hyperlocal weather conditions often missed by traditional weather sensors,radar and satellites due to dynamic effects of storms at a local scale. It uses a dense
ground closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera network and real-time image analysis
capabilities. Helios supports applications ranging from forecast validation, nowcasting
and road condition messaging and can be deployed for advanced driver assistancesystems (ADAS).
Helios detection analytics operate in both day and night conditions, turning any
surveillance or video camera into a weather sensor with the power of machine learning.
Helios instantly analyzes thousands of cameras and fuses other discrete data to provide
accurate ground weather detection and warnings.

HIGHLIGHTS> Improves street-level situationalawareness and short-term
weather forecasting by validating
real-time ground conditions dayand night> Provides immediate accessto weather condition analytics
from an aggregated network ofnearly 43,000 traffic, vehicle andsurveillance cameras> Delivers 95% weather detection
accuracy capturing hyperlocal
extremes and short-lived
severe events not detected bytraditional methods

Helios analytics help weather forecasters with dense ground observations,transportation managers with real-time road conditions, and public safety officials andlogistics managers with a clearer understanding of weather and its impact on criticalinfrastructure. This enables users to have a unique level of situational awareness thatcomplements traditional weather data and fills the gap of uncertainty to improve driversafety, avoid costly delays and be better prepared to handle unplanned weather situations.
Helios is ideal for organizations
that rely heavily on location-specificweather information to inform, reactand protect:> Local and regionaltransportation authorities> Air and land transit agencies> Emergency response agencies> Local and national broadcast
weather agencies> Telematics, connected car andautonomous system providers> Commercial transportationcompanies> Enterprise shipping andlogistics managers

HELIOS WEATHER ANALYTICSHELIOS ANALYTICS FRAMEWORKHelios scalable cloud analytic services leverage a growing network of existing cameras
to process imagery in real-time using machine learning to instantaneously identify
and classify changes in ground weather conditions. Better hyperlocal ground weather
information enhances operational efficiencies and ultimately helps the end-user makedecisions that save time, money, property and even lives.

PATENTED ANALYTICS
Helios analytics turn any surveillance orvideo camera into a weather sensor. With
95% weather detection accuracy, Helios
creates 24/7 alerts for phenomena suchas road snow, road ice, wet roads, poor
visibility and precipitation. Helios also
provides alerts for transitioning andtrending ground weather conditions,allowing users to quickly viewcorresponding camera imagery forcloser monitoring.
There is no need to spend valuable manhours monitoring hundreds of cameras;
let the Helios service platform do it foryou.
Browser-based interface users havean interactive mapping application that
integrates multiple weather observations
and data layers such as clouds or radar
to get the most complete picture ofweather events in a particular spot.
For integrators, a REST, JSON-based API
is available for direct integration into any
application.

DYNAMIC WEATHERCONDITIONS ANALYTICSHELIOS VISIBILIT Y ANALY TIC
The Helios Visibility analytic alerts users
to real-time fog formation, dissipation andoverall poor visibility conditions caused
by fast-moving, localized fog, heavy rain,heavy snow (white-out condition) or evensmoke. The Helios Discrete Distance
Visibility analytic incorporates a discretesight distance.
HELIOS PRECIPITATION ANALY TIC
The Helios Precipitation analytic detects
moderate-to-heavy rain conditions that
require reduced speed and could result inhydroplaning and localized flooding.
HELIOS TR ANSITION ANALY TIC
The Helios Transition analytic identifies
transitioning and trending groundconditions that are predictive of major
incidents. For example, knowing exactly
when snow begins to accumulate canhelp ensure safer travel and efficient
deployment of resources.

ROAD CONDITIONS ANALYTICSHELIOS ROAD WE TNES S ANALY TIC
The Helios Road Wetness analytic
provides confirmation of precipitation
affecting road or pavement conditions.
This analytic notifies users of wet or dry
pavement and potentially dangerous
areas during a storm event.
HELIOS ROAD SNOW ANALY TIC
The Helios Road Snow analytic provides
visual confirmation of snow impacting
road or pavement conditions. The Road
Snow analytic identifies three specificroad snow conditions: no snow, partiallycovered and totally covered.
HELIOS ROAD ICE ANALY TIC
The Helios Road Ice analytic provides
warning for road icing conditions by
combining information about precipitationon the ground, falling precipitation, fog
and road temperature.

NV5 is constantly adding new analytics,
such as traffic congestion and vehicle
detection, to the existing suite and canalso add specific camera networks orbuild camera analytics to meet projectrequirements.
