Apulia road networks to be monitored

Pirelli has entered into an agreement with the Apulia regional government in Italy to create a system to effectively monitor the road network with the aim of establishing a map of the condition of Apulian roads. It will be the very first road monitoring system in the world capable of unifying data collected by tyres.

Which will be processed by Pirelli Cyber Tyre hardware and software, with visual data from Inivrses technology through cameras installed onboard a vehicle.

The Pirelli Cyber Tyre hardware and software system collects and processes innovative algorithms information through sensors placed in the inner part of the tread, reading factors such as the roughness and irregularity of the asphalt. The Univrses technology also enables the monitoring of the roads and signage both horizontal and vertical. 

For this pilot project with the Apulia Region, Pirelli has combined two technologies starting from the functionalities of the Cyber Tyre and augmenting them with the visual sensors of Univrses to supply a unique and integrated service to deliver quicker and more efficient road maintenance to improve the safety of the roadways.

The cyber-service vehicles of the Apulia Region, fitted with the combined system, will send to a cloud the data to map the road network, which, once processed, will be viewable throughout the region through digital dashboards. The region will therefore have access to the data collected during the pilot phase. 

The first cars of the fleet, supplied by the rental company Ayvens, one of the leading companies in long-term rental services and fleet management, will be active from July 2025.
