By combining different data sources such as dynamic vehicle data, camera data, and other sensor data, it becomes possible to describe the overall condition of the road, which vehicles can share via smart cloud solutions.
"Being associate project partner with ZF, a world-leading subcontractor to the automotive industry, is something we are very proud of, and we are looking forward to implementing our technologies in the project. What also makes this project very exciting is the possibility, thanks to the fusion between multiple data points, to define the state of the road via a standardization. Such standardization is a major step forward in creating a greater understanding of how road condition data can be applied to intelligent driver assistance systems and autonomous vehicles." says

About AHEAD
AHEAD is an embedded sensor technology that analyzes the road surface and friction ahead of a vehicle in motion, in real-time. The technology is the result of over ten years of research and development within road surface classification. AHEAD provides vehicle systems with information on prevailing road surface conditions, which increases the functionality, operability, and use of advanced driver support systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving (AD) technologies.
About Road Condition Data
Road Condition Data (RCD) is a cloud-based Data-as-a-Service platform providing actionable data on current and future road surfaces, for proactive mobility. The RCD platform uses a combination of ruled-based algorithms, machine learning, and immense amounts of real-life road and environment data to provide unparalleled data. The high-resolution information enables actors within the automotive industry to increase the functionality, operability, and safety of advanced driver support systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving (AD) technologies.
