The feature continuously monitors the road friction in real-time. This information is sent from numerous cars to a central server, from which it is sent out to other cars approaching the area – providing them with relevant road information and timely slip hazard warnings. During the winter of 2016/2017, NIRA provided the Swedish Transport Administration and Klimator AB with software for a large number of cars, to continuously monitor the road conditions. The gathered information is sent to NIRA’s servers, where it’s aggregated to provide real-time insights about the road conditions. The new feature, called Road Surface Information, not only provides drivers with slip warnings. Self-driving cars also need to be aware of the traction and braking distance at any time – and so, with Road Surface Information, yet another important step is taken towards enabling the safe self-driving cars of the future. As a positive side-effect, NIRA’s software also facilitates more efficient and environmentally-friendly winter road maintenance, resulting in significant cost savings. During the last few years, NIRA Dynamics have invested substantial resources into establishing a position as a unique supplier of solutions for collecting road data in real-time. Today, the company also has a presence in Silicon Valley. Swedish television SVT recently published a feature on the solution: http://www.svt.se/nyheter/lokalt/vast/uppkopplade-fordon-varnar-for-halka For further information, please contact: Johan Hägg, Head of Marketing & Sales Phone: +46 700 454056 Email: johan.hagg@niradynamics.se Posted: 2017-02-23 Page footer NIRA Dynamics AB Wallenbergs gata 4 SE-58330 Linköping +46 (0)13 329800 • info@niradynamics.se Home Our Offer Newsroom Career Our Mission Contact
