  1. Transport · Resources

    Corridors that report their own conditions

    Road-weather and corridor sensing, avalanche and slope detection above the line, port and maritime observation, timing and positioning integrity, and connectivity along routes where coverage ends. Needs: road surface and visibility, slope, snow and avalanche, port and vessel conditions, positioning integrity and coverage along routes.

  2. Story

    Coast port

    A worked story shows how a transport deployment runs end to end, from the instruments and the radio to the edge, the console and the people who act on the result. Each story names its sources and the standards it relies on.

  6. What must be measured

    Transport: what must be measured

    Road surface and visibility, slope, snow and avalanche, port and vessel conditions, positioning integrity and coverage along routes. Each is measured by instruments sited to recognised practice, read by a base node that stamps, checks and signs every value. The quality flag and the provenance travel with the data, so a decision can be traced to the reading behind it.

  7. Trust

    Every node proves what it is

    A node joins only after its hardware root of trust answers an attestation challenge. Keys stay in secure hardware, software arrives signed, and every reading carries a signature, so its origin can be checked by anyone downstream without asking us.

  8. Time and place

    Every reading carries when and where

    Readings are stamped against a disciplined clock, from satellite time or a PTP grandmaster, together with the station position and its siting record. When time or position is degraded, the record says so instead of hiding it, and every analyst downstream sees the same warning.

  9. Updates

    Updates in rings, with rollback

    Software and configuration reach the fleet in rings: a canary site first, then a few, then all, each ring gated on health and data completeness. A failed gate stops the wave and returns each node to its last good release, without a site visit.

  10. Operations

    Every node watched, every incident closed

    The operations console shows every node with its state, its plan and its evidence. Alerts arrive with their data and a runbook; acknowledging one opens a work order, and an incident closes only when the cause is recorded and the fix verified.

  11. Field service

    One crew, from survey to repair

    The same crew surveys, installs, commissions, calibrates and repairs, working from the site’s own record. Each visit updates it, so the next crew knows exactly what is there, when it was last checked and why it was changed. Spares and references are planned from that history.

  12. What you get

    Transport and logistics corridor sensing

    Road weather, rail condition, port and cold-chain sensing along corridors, with connectivity where coverage ends. Delivered as managed service and data licence, for transport agencies, rail and port operators, logistics firms. Scale: Corridor to network. Service levels are written as numbers you can measure on your own dashboard.

    Plan a transport deployment

    Tell us the sites, the measurements and the people who will use them. We reply with a design and a scope for transport. An engineer replies with a survey proposal and a scope, and the plan grows from one site to the network you need, at your pace.
