The product

Roadside sensing and data

See the road from the infrastructure.

Road Sentinel puts sensors above the road. They see movement from outside a vehicle. The system shares data with devices and keeps a road record for city teams.

A pylon plans to broadcast binary Bluetooth messages directly to compatible onboard units and mobile apps. Recipients decide what to do.

01

Continuous movement

Each observation keeps its place and time

Follow movement across the covered road.

Views that overlap can keep a car, bike, or person as one short-lived object while in sight. This supports counts, speed, turns, and near-miss study by place and time.

Without overlap

A path that breaks between two viewsA road seen from above. Two sensors stand along it. Each one covers an oval of road. The two ovals do not touch, so there is a gap between them. One object travels along the road. Its path is drawn as two lines in two colors. The first line stops where the first oval stops. The second line starts where the second oval starts. No line is drawn between them. In the gap the object is an empty outline, because nothing is watching it there. What comes out the far side is counted as a new object.

The path ends at the edge of the view. What comes out the far side is a new object.

With overlap

A path that stays whole across the handoffThe same road, with two pylons on it. Each one covers an oval of road. The two ovals cross, so there is no gap between them. One object travels along the road. Its path is one line in one color, with no break in it. The object sits inside the patch both ovals cover. There the second pylon has it before the first one loses it. It carries one number the whole way.

The next pylon has it before the last one loses it. One object, one number.

How one car stays one count

The views overlap on purpose. Inside that overlap, one pylon hands the object to the next. That is the handoff.

Observation coverage and Bluetooth range differ. Structured records have no name, face match, or plate number. Separate imagery has its own use and retention terms.

Two uses

Immediate observations and long-term analysis

Infrastructure View

Onboard View comes from vehicle sensors. Infrastructure View adds roadside observations beyond the vehicle's sight. Sharing the observations is Cooperative Perception.

Road Network Intelligence

The same movement records support analysis of traffic, signals, closures, safety, transit, and emergency access. Teams can reuse collected data for focused questions.

  • The data. Review the planned structured movement record, its coverage fields, and the information it omits.
  • The hardware. See the pylon's four jobs, the site review, and what field validation must confirm.
  • Verification. See how field tests will compare observations with known runs, surveyed locations, time references, and human counts.
  • Ways to work with us. Start with a corridor pilot, a focused data question, or a device and feed planning discussion.
  • API and data feed. Review the planned contract for places, coverage, structured observations, pylon details, and the public request log.
